Those of you who have used the GRO Indexes to births, marriages and deaths at the London Metropolitan Archive will find them missing on your next visit. The indexes are being moved to Newcastle City Library. However all is not lost as you can access the indexes by using Ancestry.com on one of the computers in the library.

Of course if you wish to search the indexes at home and you don’t subscribe to Ancestry then you can use the excellent free website http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
