It would appear that GRO imposed a 100 year limit on the availability of births when they first constructed the searchable index. This seems to have persisted in spite of there being post-1983 births now available on the GRO site and sites like FreeBMD making available post-1917 births. Apparently there was also meant to be a 50 year limit for deaths.
