I use Free bmd or bmsgh or complete index on Ancestry.

Now I have noticed that Ancestry have now 1916-2005 covered.

This must be transcribed seperately from the free bmd that they appear to use up to 1915 as the name free bmd is not in the 1916-2005.

Does anyone know if these indexes have been supplied by anyone -have ancestry transcribed them?

As I found 2 members of my family that were not on free bmd but on the ancestry one!
I realise coverage varies as they add to them but what I want to know is
how complete is the coverage on the ancestry one does it cover all areas up to 2005
does anyone know

It looks like it was Ancestry they all say along the lines of this
