FreeBMD calculates the Date of Birth from the Age at Death and the quarter in which the death was registered.<br>Note however, that the Date of Birth derived from the Age at Death has a wide latitude, typically 18 months when a precise Date of Birth is supplied and 30 months when only the year is supplied | FreeBMD calculates the Date of Birth from the Age at Death and the quarter in which the death was registered.<br>Note however, that the Date of Birth derived from the Age at Death has a wide latitude, typically 18 months when a precise Date of Birth is supplied and 30 months when only the year is supplied. | ||

Another free online index is [http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/ UKBMD]. Volunteers from several counties have gone into local registration offices and transcribed the original registrar index books for marriages, births and deaths (usually in that order). Birth and death registrations have been compiled with year of event, rather than year of registration. The online search gives place of marriage and provides online capability to print the form with event details and reference, to be posted direct to the Registration office to purchase the certificate. This is a rapid reply service. | |||
