thank you OC and GEORGINA, i just wondered as i dont know lancashire and couldnt believe when i saw the duplicates of ALL the children, thanks a lot for your time , what a waste of space on FAMILYSEARCH best wishes EILEEN

Eileen the Inskip births on the IGI are extracted which means they are taken from the parish register, the ones from Morecambe are submitted entries which means that a member of the LDS church has added these records and they are usually full of mistakes, my advice would be use the IGI as a guide but always double check the details. Georgina.

Eilenn The INSKIP baptisms are records extracted from the parish register and therefore likely to be reasonably accurate. The Morecambe ones are submitted records and give dates as 'about' - meaning they havent found a baptism. Ignore the submitted ones. OC

thank you ,RUTLAND BELLE but i really hoped someone could explain why the duplicate entry stating different birth places, best wishes EILEEN

If you look on a map Inskip is nearer to Blackpool than Morecombe. If you go to GENUKI site and put Inskip into the search box it will give you all the information Jennifer
