SAUNDERS William Thomas Berkhampstead 6 423

There is only one entry transcribed twice, it does look like a 5 for the last number

hi, are you saying it is vol 6 page 423 of 425
why does it look like it is 4 numbers?
I am newist so I do struggle abit, thanks, sally

hi, lindsey, that is what I thought, any idea on third one?

I think the page number is or 425

What looks like the first number 1 is actually the first stroke of the number 4 which is very faint.

gosh I may need to buy a few birth cert before I get the right one, so maybe I should try a sibling to get the mothers name.
I have never bought a birth cert for 1840, does it show mothers name?

I've changed my last post after looking at the entry again.

Yes, all birth certificates starting at 1837 give the mother's maiden name.

thanks kathleen, I see what you mean by the number its not 4 numbers but 3, thanks for that

There is a double entry at FreeBMD because the transcription has been corrected but the incorrect one hasn't been removed yet. FreeBMD would have double-checked before making the correction.

The images are clearer at Ancestry than at FreeBMD. (I don't know about GenesReunited, but Sallyann, for heaven's sake, don't use this site as your primary resource for BMDs when FreeBMD has them indexed and searchable!)

Anyhow, of course Ancestry goes to the wrong page ... it's image 21.

for anybody who wants to try there.

And the last digit is pretty clearly a 5 there.

In any event, if it's unclear, just add a note when you order from the GRO that the page number is questionable because it was unclear.


edit

If you click on the two page numbers at FreeBMD, you see that both 423 and 425 are valid page numbers for that quarter in Berkhampstead. It definitely isn't "1" anything, and it's only three digits.

I might have thought 435, but an exact search at Ancestry for births in Q3 1840 in Berkhampstead, volume 6, page 435, produces nil results.

So 425 it must be.

ok, thank-you Janey I will do that, so it is 425? thank you everyone

thanks, thanks, thanks

Order it from the Berhampstead Register Office and you won't need the GRO reference at all.

ok, madmeg, I will look into that, is it the same price?

ok, madmeg, will do that.

We had one already today that was a CofE wedding followed two days later by an RC wedding (or vice versa) -- could this be another one?

Hugh Wallis doesn't specify churches in the parish batch number listings:
