New UK Titles from Ancestry in 2018

It's easy to overlook additions to genealogy databases. There were 28 additions to UK titles in the Ancestry collection in 2018 for a total of 95,434,950 records. That's according to the card catalog and including some smaller ones for Jersey, Gibraltar and pre-1810 probate records for Ireland.

The major addition was the 1939 National Register for England and Wales accounting for 48 per cent of the new records. Together with London, England, City Directories, 1736-1943 and Liverpool, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1970 it accounts for 77 per cent of the new records.

Here's a complete list of the new titles on Ancestry. I've included the one Canadian title added this year.
