inverclyde intimations
« on: Thursday 08 September 16 18:47 BST (UK) »
Why cant they just leave things alone when they work,
instead of searching names AB to AY
they have changed it to search by year 1800- 1825
really ??? a lot of people dont know what year they are looking for,
whereas  they at least knew a name, now you have to look through all names for
those years to see if yours is on it,
I lasted all of two minutes before I got fed up

Hi Elaine,

I suspect it is because Betty has retired and the new broom has swept up!!  The best we can do is to ring up the Watt Library and complain, this site was THE best website around by a mile.

That is such a pity (and a pain for all). It worked so well as pdf/alpha searches. Easy to download and view all the BMDs by surname across all the time period they hold on record.

What also helped is that searching by surname often brought up a whole set of events for an individual family.

Hi Elaine. I have these as Adobe docs, covering  A  to  McE,  L'A  to  Ly  and  PA  to  PU.
Should your interest lie in one of these groups, please PM me and I will try to assist. This new broom not only swept it clean, she hid it all under the carpet of the unknown. Imagine searching SP with only a date!

Can't believe that they're now listed by date!!!  Such a great resource wasted!   >:(

As of 2022 [?] the Intimations were removed from online. The reason? I was told "a lot of the information we had available online was in a PDF format that no longer meets the criteria around accessibility detailed in current legislation for the public sector so they have had to be taken down."

However, I downloaded several files many years ago for my personal use. I've now uploaded them to https://mega.nz/folder/ML90AZiA#YjiIf2hzH35TizQ4vSINBQ

Enjoy.
