the freeBMD has some 42 million records on site ,
but i have no idea of how many there are from 1837 to date,(or 1900)
on
this
new site or to freeBMD,s 1900 cutoff..
From the Autumn 2002FRC newletter
From 1837 to 1899 there were approximately 88 million registrations of
births,
marriages and deaths.
· 47 million births
· 11.5 million marriages
