Ancestry show incomplete data for all recent (after the 1980s changes) BMD register entries. The database has the data, but the display routine is a field short, so rather than fixing that, they decided not to bother. Apparently they want people to order certs through them at vastly inflated prices.

I have reported this as a fault on several occasions, but their "support" don't understand/care.

There are other databases where they have decided not to provide the proper source reference. Maybe they believe that they ARE the source, rather than just a Repository.

What were the 1980s changes please?

Thank you for drawing my attention to that Dawn    I was not aware that Ancestry had not got the full details though F M P have but I should have remembered there were more numbers than earlier registrations on these records.

Until 1983, GRO Reference Numbers consisted of:
Year, Quarter, RD, Volume and Page.

From 1984 to 1992:
DOR, Volume and Page.

From 1993:
District No, Reg. No, Entry No and DOR

Paulo Leeds I don't know if you are aware but you can access Ancestry at Leeds library, I understand this is close to where you are.

It's not only Ancestry that are a field short, the death index is available without subscription at familysearch.org but again the entry number is missing which is odd as they 'obtain' their data from FindMyPast.
