from freebmd

Marriages Mar 1881 (>99%)

>>>>>BERESFORD Henry Erpingham 4b 85
Fox Laura Catherine Erpingham 4b 85
>>>>>PENTNEY Sophia Erpingham 4b 85
Todd Leonard Erpingham 4b 85




what you do on freebmd to find the other partner is click on the page number (ie, 85) and it brings up the 4 names (hopefully anyway!).

As you know her name was Sophia, he must have married Sophia Pentney


The same thing happens on ancestry, except you have to click on View Record, then click on page number.

Kathlyn Report 5 Mar 2009 03:33

I am in New Zealand visiting a cousin and have offered....trust me....to look up info for my cousins wife. I have hit a problem and a new thought on this would be very much apprecated.

I have found the marriage of the grandfather.....

Henry Moore Beresford
Erpingham (Norfolk)
JFM
1881
4b 85

We only have the Christian name of the grandmother, so I entered this info...

Sophia
1881
Erpingham........and found the following

Sophia Susannah Fox
Erpingham
JFM
4b
95


With just the page number being different, and this marriage would have taken place in a rural Norfolk area, is it possible that the page number has been miss-transcribed???????

I will be on my way home to the UK next Tuesday and would love to be able to give info to my cousins wife that she had no knowledge of.

In anticipation

Kathlyn
