New additions spanning all across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This week sees the release of 200,000 death records exactly, all from the more recent 2020-2021. Alternatively, it's a mammoth week here at the archive, with over 700,000 new pages added. Here's a rundown of everything that's new.
England & Wales Deaths 2007-2021
If you're looking to fill out your tree with more recent records, this release is for you. We've added 184,062 new records to this collection, from approximately November 2020-November 2021.
These records will often give you a residence, postcode district, and a full birthday.
Scotland, Modern And Civil Deaths & Burials 1855-2021
We've added 13,886 records to this collection, again from 2020-2021.
These records will give you the same information as the previous set, including postcode district and birthday.
Ireland, Northern Ireland Deaths 1998-2021
There are 2,052 new additions to this collection, with the same years and information as the previous two sets.
If anything, this release serves as a reminder that family history does not start with passenger lists from the 19th century, or petty court sessions from the 20th century - family history starts with us.
