I do feel disappointed that they haven't managed to index these by name - makes me wonder just how much longer we have to wait for the countrywide electoral registers we were promised years ago? I assumed the delay with those was indexing them, but if they are prepared to release the Manchester ones without indexing them, why not the national ones? Also, maybe I'm just in a bad mood today or something, but it seems wrong for their "Findmypast Fridays" blog to be headed "New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday" when the main collection this week cannot be searched, only browsed.
