Overnight, we have uploaded records for the remaining English Counties (Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland) and added the missing Gateshead district records into the county of Durham (they were incorrectly listed as part of Northumberland - this is now fixed and they are searchable under Durham, as they should be).

Therefore all English counties are now complete.

Scanning of Welsh records is well underway and we are working on the transcriptions of the first batch of Welsh counties, which will be the next data release. Although we do not have a precise release date for them yet, we anticipate that we will have some data from Wales available in the next 4 to 6 weeks.

We are quality checking the final three English counties at the moment (Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland), as well as the missing Gateshead data from Durham (which was not uploaded with the rest of the county owing to an error in the master data catalogue, which has now been rectified).

If no problems are found, this data should be available on the live site either tomorrow or Wednesday. Gateshead data will be searchable under the county of Durham, as it should be.

UPDATE Tuesday 16:50: we’re redeploying the data now, it should start appearing late this evening / early tomorrow morning if all goes smoothly.
