Ancestry adds entries from 2019 to Scotland and Northern Ireland death index

Ancestry has expanded its Scotland and Northern Ireland, Death Index, 1989-2019 collection (www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/60631/) to include entries from the year 2019. From the site:

This collection is a compiled index that covers approximately 45% of the total deaths that occurred in this time period.

This index provides death details for people in Scotland and Northern Ireland, specifically their name, gender, date of birth or age at death, date of death, and residence place at time of death. However, they do not include the General Register Office (GRO) reference information. The index also contains a small number of records for people in Jersey and Isle of Man.

A similar update for the England and Wales, Death Index, 1989-2019 collection (www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/60630/) has also been made.
