Actually, FamilySearch.org's main search engine provides "search" access to a combined Cheshire church registers database total of 8,886,000 CMB entries. This contrasts with the combined totals in their "Browse All Published Collections" page has a combined total of only 6,943,000 CMB entries. Compare this with Findmypast.co.uk's combined totals of 7,506,000 CMB entries. Why the difference between FamilySearch's main search engine database searches vs its "Browse All Published Collections" databases? This is because FamilySearch adds fresh new records regularly in its main search engine database and only occasionally updates their stand-alone databases found in their "Browse All Published Collections" page.
