The 'Traceline' service, which for some years has been prominent on the G.R.O. homepage for England and Wales, has been withdrawn from public use as of April 1.
Traceline will still accept enquiries from charities such as the Salvation Army. The decision to remove it from the GRO website follows the transfer of the service from the Office for National Statistics to the Information Centre for Health and Social Care, but no indication has been given to explain the decision.
(With thanks to Elicia at the YFT forum).
