On the TNA Catalogue for Series HO 140, it gives the list of pieces that have been digitised, and there are lots of holes. Piece 196 (e.g.) is "After-trial calendars ... Shropshire; Somerset; Staffordshire; Suffolk; Surrey; Sussex" for 1899 and is not digitised. Reading the FMP press release would give you the impression that their HO140 stuff covers all of 1868-1929. Even reading the TNA notes may not be enough as I don't know if TNA have full visibility of progress within Brightsolid. <br /><br />Oh - and it's crashed... Bit poor that, given that Brightsolid did a good job with releasing the 1911 census so far as I remember.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
