So the advice for a birth prior to 1992 would be to check both FreeBMD and the GRO site to be as sure as you can be of getting the right record.
.... a birth before 1992 in England and Wales ....

I'm sure most of us on the Scotland forum know that births in Scotland (or Ireland) are not included in FreeBMD or in the GRO indexes, but there might be some newbies who don't know that.

which is why (though you chose not to include it in your quote) I specifically referred to the GRO for England & Wales :-)
