	Hi - I was just about to order a birth cert using the info from transcribed Ancestry records but double-checked the actual image first and now I am not sure that the page number has been transcribed correctly by Ancestry. Was wondering if I could ask a few of you to have a look at the following entry for me and let me know what you think before I order the cert. Have tried ringing GRO but got caught up in their recorded messages, going round in circles! JOSEPH PRIESTLEY SEPT QTR 1849 ST OLAVE BERMONDSEY VOL 4 PAGE either 435 or 485 (Ancestry have got 435 but to me it looks like 485) Many thanks - Athena
