	Well spotted SatNav - Cleckheaton was in the Bradford district then. So the submitters to Family Search were not wrong.

	I had a similar problem. GG grandmother was listed on familysearch as Mary Boulet Evans, apparently 31 when she married my GG grandfather, who was 21. I got their marriage certificate. She was 21 and called Mary Douch Evans. May seem trivial, but on looking at censuses, using her real age, I found her mother, Mary Evans (widow) with a lodger - Samuel Douch! Got her birth certificate. Guess who the father was!!! Without verifying things I could have traced the wrong tree (and Evans is a lot more difficult to trace than Douch!)

	These are submitted entries, which means they have not been checked by anyone. They could be wildly inaccurate.

	Is this the one you are talking about...because if you read below all the info,,,,it is only submitted record which could have errors.... IGI Individual Record FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 British Isles Search Results \| Download \| Print -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ann Hirst Pedigree Female Family -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: 14 FEB 1854 Back Lane, Cleckheaton, Yorkshire, England Christening: Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: John Hirst Family Mother: Sarah Ann Padgett -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages: Spouse: Lionel Binns Family Marriage: 03 AUG 1874 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Messages: Record submitted by a member of the LDS Church. The record often shows the name of the individual and his or her relationship to a descendant, shown as the heir, family representative, or relative. The original records are not indexed, and you may have to look at the film frame-by-frame to find the information you want. A family group record for this couple may be in the Family Group Record Collection; Archive Section. (See the Family History Library Catalog for the film number.)

Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 52 Send Message	I have found my g.grandmother Ann Banks (nee Hirst) 1854, Cleckheaton, father John (wed.cert), looking at the 1841,1851 census, her sister Martha married Robert Leeming(1871) , although I haven't been able to follow things up since then (re the Hirst & Leeming families) everything seems to point to it being her, untill I looked her up on Family Search, and came up with Ann Hirst 1854, Back Lane, Cleckheaton married a Lionel Binns. there are 2 more entries for Ann & Lionel which read Ann Hirst 1854, Robertstown, is it possible for them to make such an error?
