GRO INDEXES REGISTRATION DISTRICTS


1837-1851 (Roman numerals)

Roman numerals were used for the reference numbers until 1851

  • Notes
  • use find on page to navigate and spell check
  • to spell check names use Ancestry - a freebie
  • Wild card help page from Ancestry but there must be at least 3 characters before any wildcard
  • use Soundex too

The wildcard query resulted in too many matches.

Wildcards are special symbols which are used in place of letters or numbers. They can be used to match distinct but similar words. An asterisk "*" replaces zero or more characters, and a question mark "?" replaces exactly one character. For example, a search for "fran*" will return matches on words like "Fran," "Franny," or "Frank." A search for "Johns?n" matches "Johnson" and "Johnsen," but not "Johnston."

Here are some suggestions on how you can better use wildcards to complete your search:

  • Use more characters before the wildcard. For example, use Able* instead of Abl*.
    There must be at least 3 characters before any wildcard.
  • Specify both a first and last name or a partial first and last name.
  • Try using the single-character wildcard "?" rather than the multiple-character wildcard "*".
    (e.g., using "Hans?n" matches both "Hansen" and "Hanson" rather than using "Hans*").

    Notes

    I need this to help me in my work as a WinBMD user and FreeBMD transcriber
    My first "unknown" district name turned out ot be that of a workhouse union too,
    but the pick-list needs the first letter to be readable and I did not know that county

    The same districts were used to compile the censuses returns for the years 1851
    - or was it the new ones ?
