The records still indexed with year, quarter, volume and page number (earlier marriages and deaths) have yet to be digitised. Boils down to the fact two agencies in the Republic of Ireland provide copies of records - the GROI and Health Services Executive - the HSE has been digitising them for online provision, but it's an ongoing job, taking some time. They'll all get there eventually!

These were never for the purpose of going online, however, but to help facilitate orders quicker through the GRO. The recent legislation to permit them to go online was I think merely to provide a legal starting point, but I am not aware of any intent as yet for this to happen by way of any project. But yes, England is beginning to look increasingly jurassic on this front, agreed.Chris Patonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073425769475523109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-90896125497043926822016-09-07T19:24:29.272+01:002016-09-07T19:24:29.272+01:00Thanks for this.

Lets hope that pressure now builds on the GRO/Passport Office to at least do a Scotland's People/N.I. Direct for English and Welsh BMDs. The current England/Wales process will now look even more out of date and expensive. Do you know Chris what happened to the legislation in the Westminster Parliament that was going possibly to allow an England and Wales digitisation of BMD records? I know that years ago many (but not all) of the vital records were digitised (but not put online) as the full project to do so was abandoned before its completion.
