Question:

Where can I find a free database of birth certificates, ive tried ancestry.co.uk but only shows 1984 plus...?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you check again you will find they have actually got BMD indices starting in 1837-1983 and then 1984-2005, and they are free to search through. Hope this helps
