Jenny, I am only replying on-line in order to avoid potential problems for others. That advice rather confirms my view. It says quite specifically that the documents are Crown Copyright and may not be copied.
However, it does say that the content is public, so Findmypast, say, can publish the details and if they wished they may copy them into a similar, but their own, format. As you say, any further discussion had better be off-list!
