Slightly mis-leading statement here. The "hundred year rule" only apply to
the Census and not to parish records, GRO indexes and certificates. Some of
this info is available "on-line" on sites such as Free BMD, 1837 OnLine and
Ancestry amongst others. Other " under hundred year old" info can be found
in Record Offices and Family History Centres.
