Thanks Ann !

here's the "official" anouncement, from the UK-BMD newsletter

BathBMD has now published 125,661 deaths.  This is the first batch of deaths
and completes us to 1895 in this area.  All entries have the 'Age at Death'
where this is included in the register.

Many thanks go to all volunteers who helped prepare data for this update.

BathBMD is available at www.BathBMD.org.uk

Bath BMD added another 56,000 deaths last week.  They seem to be a bit patchy but some registers go up to about 1930.

Dear all,
    Happy New Year to you all ! Hope you had a good festive season.

The Bath BMD site has had its births search form updated with a new
field to allow you to enter a mother's maiden name as an optional search
parameter.

As an example of how it works, try this births search on the Bath BMD site:

        Date Ranges: 1837-1850
        Surname: SMITH
        Mother's Maiden Name: ASHLEY
        Match: Soundex


As the new text on the form states, it will also return entries where no mother's
maiden name has been indexed. This will have more relevance when this
update to the software has been installed on the Lancashire and Yorkshire
sites where less of the births have the mother's maiden name indexed.

If everyone is happy with this, I'll then install the updated software
on the other sites that have some mother's maiden name data.
