==========================================
There are new additions from Powys to Pembridge for you to explore.
We've added 39,181 burial records this Findmypast Friday, updating two existing indexes - the National Burial Index for England & Wales and the Greater London Burial Index - with transcriptions from Herefordshire, London and the Welsh county of Powys.
These essential new records make building the English and Welsh branches of your family tree easier than ever. We've also added over 360,000 pages to our newspaper collection.
National Burial Index For England & Wales - Herefordshire
We updated our National Burial Index for England & Wales records this week, adding 17,656 records from the English county of Herefordshire. These useful new transcriptions cover 230 years, so if your ancestor was buried in Herefordshire between 1582 and 1812, their name may just appear.
National Burial Index For England & Wales - Powys
But that's not it for the National Burial Index for England & Wales. We also added 21,174 burial records from Powys in Wales. These new additions span from 1513 to 1851.
Greater London Burial Index
To round off our trio of burial record updates we have 351 additions to the Greater London Burial Index. These new records are from the Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith and cover 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. These new records may reveal key information about the deaths of ancestors who lived in the capital during either of the world wars.
