Amazing that back in 2004 I hoped that one day the GRO would re index the pre 1866 death indexes with the age at death and would re index the 1837-1911 births with the mothers maiden name. And now we have such a facility.

I am thrilled to bits now as Girl Guide has solved my problem of 20 years or so by finding the child I have been searching for, I am now about to order the cert to complete the family

Huge thanks to girl guide, and to all who offered suggestions

Louisa Maud

Congrats! and well done to girl guide.

I'm so glad I was able to solve Louisa's brick wall for her.  It is so satisfying when that missing piece of information has been found.

I'm sure many of us have been in that situation before.  I am hoping to solve mine when I receive a birth cert that I have ordered.

The new service from the GRO will be an enormous boon to so many of us with brick walls to tumble.

I found the birth registration for a child that Louise had been looking for for 20 years using the new GRO Online Search facility.

That's fantastic, and what I assumed, but it's rather confusing as there's no mention of it on here.

Deirdre look at reply#66 on Page 8 and you will see the original mention by Louisa.

That was what Louisa was looking for, not what you found. Anyway, never mind, glad you were able to help.
