Updated records.

That famous site we use, Ancestree often updates their records but when it says UPDATED, it rarely gives what records have been added. Unless I am missing something and there is a way to find out? I notice they have updated London records again.

I share your frustration on this one. Many times I've checked for elusive ancestors in "updated" record sets, and still found nothing.
One other thing I have discovered with the London baptisms, marriages and burials is not all of the images are indexed; far from it in fact. Recently I have been trawling through the images of St Andrew Holborn, because they are not indexed in the dataset.
I wonder if other record sets are the same.

And St Matthew Bethnal Green have missing burials from 1823-1826 but the burials are on FamilySearch.

I am trawling through marriage registers for certain London parishes which George and Sarah Coombs lived to see if they witnessed any marriages.

I did find Sarah witness an 1835 marriage when she herself had remarried after George died. I hope one day London registers will be searchable by marriage witness.

'Updated records', is that an excuse to try and improve the Anc. accessibility. How many times have we had the message.....'Come back later, and try again'. Or is that just me.

Also, you could view images of London burials, now they only have a text only record, like the Essex and Staffordshire records.
