The same pages will tell you that Spilsby is Lincs. If you're after marriages info 1837-1850, then have a look at this page: http://s10.freefronthost.*com/mi/ (remove *) Christine

As a general rule, if you want to match places and Districts, the Genuki pages are best... http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/REG/ Christine
