Jax you are correct the 1946 registration index of 2b isnt for Yorkshire,it shares registration area with Hampshire/ W.Sussex boarders .
:-D

excuse me Kay???? ??
search at Ancestry using only the information
exact search
year 1946
volume 2b
it brings up the following ridiculous results out of a total of over 26,000
Bradford Sussex
Halifax Sussex
Doncaster Sussex, Isle of Wight
Huddersfield Sussex, Isle of Wight
Battle Yorkshire West Riding
Brighton Yorkshire West Riding
Hastings Yorkshire West Riding
Goole Sussex, Isle of Wight
Dewsbury Sussex, Isle of Wight
Hemsworth Sussex, Isle of Wight
Ancestry has obviously and incomprehensibly -reversed-
Yorkshire West Riding
and
Sussex, Isle of Wight
for huge numbers of registrations
and you seem to be believing that nonsense Kay????
the registration district is what matters, county is only 'inferred' by Ancestry
there is only -one- registration district called Bradford and it is not in Sussex or Isle of Wight

Joonie Cloonie or who ever you are,,,I know what registration area 2b covers from 1852 to 1946,
Hampshire/West Sussex or shared part of.
2b did not cover Yorkshire or any part of it,as you have previously stated.

and Kay???? who I am sure is whoever you is even if it looks like you don't know yourself :-D
Bradford
is
not
in
Hampshire
and
Brighton
is
not
in
West Yorkshire
The registration for the birth in question says, in the image of the index which can be seen at Ancestry, Q3-Jul-Aug-Sep 1946,
name ... Bradford 2b 285
It does not say Hampshire or any other county ... it says only the registration district because that is what the GRO index says, registration district, not county, counties are invented ... er, 'inferred' ... by Ancestry for its index
one of the births registered in Doncaster is vol 2b p 643
one of the births registered in Hastings is vol 2b p 4
one of the births registered in Brighton is 2b 406
so hmm gosh I wonder ... did the numbering change in mid-1946? well gosh I believe it did
Search at Ancestry with nothing but year 1946 vol 2b as the search text
>>> the Bradford Halifax Doncaster etc registrations with vol 2b are all in Q3 and Q4 1946
>>> the Battle Brighton Hastings etc registrations with vol 2b are all in Q1 and Q2 1946
I guess we learn something new every day !
... in Q1 1946 vol 2a was Bradford ... which Ancestry says was in Staffordshire that quarter ...
no need to apologise for your rudeness, just share a chuckle with me :-D

Reggie
Not everyone knows about Freebmd, they need to be directed there. When I first started helping on these boards 4 years ago I had a sub to GR and ancestry, why did I want to look at something that was free when I had paid? also I had no idea what people meant when they just said use freebmd...we didn't have the hyperlinks back then either
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Reggie you have pasted the information that appears at the link I gave before Kay???? jumped on me so yes, I do use freebmd :-)
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/bradford.html
... but I had just posted it just to confirm the identity and location of Bradford reg dist, before the attempt to put me in my place with the 'I know what vol 2b means', and yes I missed that bit about '2B (1946–74)' because I wasn't looking for it ... I just figured it out for myself after the attempted smack down ... by looking at the actual search results for that volume in that year.
I had then consulted
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/civreg/GROIndexes.html
which unfortunately does not make it clear that the volume number in this case at least goes to mid-1946, not '1946'.
I absolutely agree with using freebmd, if you see my posts you see that is where I most often copy and paste bmd entries from (it is certainly much more straighforward than all that 'probable spouse' 'before 1911' business), it is just that in the mid-1900s it is not yet complete and so I use another source as well and sometimes start with the other source to make sure I am not missing something.
