Yes.... Find my past has incorrectly transcribed the page number.....in turn has passed it onto genes

There are a lot of incorrect entries not only on fmp/genes but freebmd and Ancestry also have them

Sorry Twigg married and Samuel Wassell in Dudley. I have copy of official record.

Looks like there is a bit of a mix up here

Thanks Rambling Rose,

I don't know the answer to your query, I suggest, if you have the entry number, you go to your local records office and get a copy of the marriage certificate.

As far as I am concerned, Freebmd is right, It does make me wonder though if other records on Genes is entered incorrectly. I know some things can be difficult on some records, but in my case it was very clear.

I will try Freebmd again

Thanks again

Gilda if you scroll down on the Freebmd page , and don't click at the top, you will get to the search. It's free so will save you some credits in the future perhaps :-)

I wonder what triggers the "spouse match found" ?
because checking one of mine where there are 4 names to pair up

I get:
Florence Ann Fishlock married one of the people below:

William THOMPSON View
Henry Francis GREENSLADE View
Daniel John KEATING View

From Genes ( costs five credits)

On Freebmd records ( costs nothing) it has the following

TWIGG Eliza Dudley 6c 135

I will scan my copy of certificate and e-mail it to support. Jax, yes when I originally searched on another site, it did give me the four names. This is where Gene's have muddled things up.

If you search Mary Ann Rollason (1882 marriage) you will see that it gives her marriage as a definite. This I am afraid is incorrect. My worry is that if my one record is wrongly loaded, how many more are there?

HI Rose,
I didn't even get to any search boxes.

Gilda, if you are saying freebmd took you to Ancestry , then I think you may have clicked on the Ancestry advert at the top of the freebmd page, rather thna scrolling down to the freebmd search boxes? ( I did that when I first started out) ,

Gilda

Are there 4 names....two males and two females?

If so are your gt grandparents names two of them?

There are two marriage on a page .....and as I have already mentioned they are in alphabetical order.....not by who married who

Maybe you would like to give us the names and we can take a look

Thanks for your replies. Freebmd.org.uk took me to Ancestry where I got my original result from years ago. This is when I went to the records office for a copy of the certificate. My great grandfather's gives me two other names but neither is the correct one. My great grandmother's according to Genes seems to be a definite as the layout is like the ones after 1912, eg MaryAnn married a Mr Samuel but in reality he married an Eliza. This is the other marriage record on my copy.

If you have looked up the marriage on this or any site.... Pre 1911 marriages will not be paired up.....normally 4 to a page in alphabetical order

Marriages Jun 1853 (>99%)
Bishop John Chesterton 3b 777
Osborn William Chesterton 3b 777
Peacock Elizabeth Chesterton 3b 777
Smith Elizabeth Chesterton 3b 777


These were not two same sex marriages

you could also take a look at Freebmd.org.uk to see if the record is correct there?

I have recently returned to the site and have looked up my great grand parents married record in 1882. For me this is incorrect information because I have a copy from my local records office of their certificate. Whoever put the records on this site have mixed up two marriages. This can be very misleading.

There appears to be no way you can contact the Genes team directly to report such mistakes.
