Marina ..................

if you want to know mmn for births after registration started on July 1 1837, use the relatively new GRO Index

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

You have to sign up, but it is free and safe.

They have mmn from July 1837 to mid 1919, while Freebmd has mmn from mid-1911 to ca 1990.

GRO Index also has deaths, and shows the age at death, which can be helpful ............ but you do have to remember that the Index does not distinguish between hours, days, weeks or months for ages 0 to 12.
