Hi Shelma

I got the marriage from my Vital Records Index for the British Isles CD.

There are still the hours of fun trying to think of all the different ways ancestry may have transcribed what you believe to be a very simple name in the 1901 census:-p

Katherine, don't we all just love ancestry and all its little foibles.

Maybe the BBC should add it to its summer season of entertainment. Never a repeat:-)

Hi Shelma

The Vital Records CD is a bit hit and miss but it does sometimes have stuff which is not on the IGI. You can order it from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons). It costs $20 and the details can be found at http://www.ldscatalog.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?

Katherine, you've gone and done what I avoided doing!

Any great big long string of text in a post will extend the
borders of the entire thread beyond the reaches of the frame.

Here's what you can do to fix it.

Hit the "-" key -- the minus/hyphen key -- while
holding down the control key.
This will shrink the text on your monitor.
Do this until you can see the tiny little "edit"
in the lower right of your post above this one.

Click on edit and then break that url into two parts
by hitting "enter" somewhere around the "catalogld"
after the "?", I'd estimate.

Otherwise, nobody will be able to make sense of
this thread forever after!



Heh. You done it already. ;) The directions may be useful to someone else though, so I'll leave 'em!

I remembered your advice from the other day just after I clicked submit and lost my borders:-)
