Thanks Geoff.. Do you have the BIVRI disks ? If poss would you be able to check the following marriage for me.. Samuel Etherton Spouse - Bella Jones Date - 1915 Place - Kensington Would like to know the grooms fathers name and occupation plus any ages that are given. If you don't have it I will post this on a BIVRI lookup link Many thanks Martin

I have just checked a couple of names in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire - anything I say must be used only as a guide. You do not get *anyone's* occupation. Generally you get date, church and the names of the happy couple. This is all you seem to get in Scotland, even in the 1850s Ages and fathers' names seem to start around 1837 but there are still some marriages in the 1850s without ages. Some counties are covered very badly, other quite well eg: Lincs and Leics 390,709 and 611 births 128,092 and 87 marriages
