[gillian.buckley2]

Hello, I am trying to discover how I can find out BMDs from Isle of Man.
I have been on ancestry.co.uk & found the Cencuses ok but cannot find BMDs as I have a few to find. If anyone can help? Thanks Gill

Can you give a few persons whom you wish to trace in the IOM.
I only have 3 books from the IOM FHS, but have found them invaluable in my research of my surname Wade.

I know that there are researchers who randomly check a local internet site to assist people.

Either Guestbook or reunion.

Hi Dave & Manxy,
Many thanks for your help on the subject of IOM BMDs. It is strange that they were never added to the Free BMD site as IOM is part of England.
I will certainly write to registry office on IOM to see if they can provide the info I need.
Thanks again.
