It seems to be only AU and NZ, which is a shame. No free offers came up when I entered the .co.uk address.   :(

I've seldom come across quite so many errors of transcription.
Admittedly some of them appear to be in the original indexes.
No wonder there are so many myths in the trees posted at fAncestry.

And did you know there's a New Zealand in Wiltshire?
Ancestry says there is, so it must be true.

But there is a New Zealand in Wiltshire ???  I'm surprised you haven't heard of it, it's right here:  https://www.genuki.org.uk/gazetteer?place=new%20zealand&county=-1&search_type=1&display_type=1&type=map

Thanks for the correction, Carol.

Nobody told me about it when I was growing up near Marlborough.
