Thanks from me too. ;D. I've found my great grandfather named his eldest son after his younger brother who died aged 5, although GGF was only 6 at the time. Nobody in the family, including his children, knew anything about this.

In addition to the issues Andrew mentioned, there are also a few mother's maiden names incorrectly spelt such as Towles instead of Fowles.  Not unexpected considering the handwriting.  Playing with the search found the entries in the end and a very welcome improvement.

Cheers,

Well I've stuck my neck out and ordered a birth cert.  Will have to wait and see if it was the right one.
The process of elimination seems to suggest that it is.

Had an email about this yesterday and instantly solved 2 puzzles. One was a possible death of a 4* great grandmother in 1851 (but the recorded death was a 10 year old girl!) and the other was the birth of her daughter in 1839, baptised as Gwenllian but possible birth registration as Gwen (right quarter, district and mother's maiden name). Will confirm details before buying the certificate but really pleased with this extra info available.

Thanks for that - reminded me I needed to order a death cert too.  Makes it much easier
