That's funny, I wonder what FMP class as a "record"? Their latest Findmypast Fridays email says "This week we've added over 84,000 new records including:
England, Phillimore Marriage Registers, 1531-1913
Explore 241 volumes of marriage records containing approximately 2.3 million names from over 1,500 parishes across 29 English counties."

Well, 2.3 million names in marriage registers probably equates to about a million records, as each marriage record will have at least 2 names, and I realise this is over 84,000, but if I were them I would be saying "This week we've added about a million records"!!

This database isn't very easy to search at the moment and the info on the results screen is minimal but maybe they are planning a better version for the future?

I was disappointed in this database. It's not easy to search and you can't add in partner names, unless they go in the keyword search, which I haven't tried as yet.
