  • Inconsistencies in BMDs

    I use FMP, Free BMD and Cheshire BMD, for example.

    I have real trouble with OH's Newton family from the Ashton/Stalybridge area - especially as Newtons seem to marry Newtons three times in his tree!

    Marriages for 1847:

    Cheshire Free BMD:


    Sept qr Free BMD
    FreeBMD - Search

    Extract from FMP

    Q3:
    All Newton, all Ashton:
    Ann
    Betty
    Harriet
    Nancy
    Sarah
    Jane

    It leaves me rather confused! :D

        The Cheshire BMD link doesn't work for me, but the FreeBMD one does and when I open it I see the various partners listed for the same page number in Ashton-u-L. Sarah and Nancy (and another one Isaiah) are recorded on FreeBMD but under different page numbers.

          It doesn't look as though any of those have been transcribed for Cheshire BMD yet.

          If you search FreeBMD for marriages for the surname Newton, Sep 1847, district Ashton under Lyne, you will get all the names you listed from your Findmypast search plus Isaiah, so I'm not quite sure what you mean by inconsistencies? Did Isaiah not come up on the actual image?

            D'oh! It's one of those cross-border districts!

            Try Lancashire BMD:

            Harriet Newton married Joshua Fitton
            Ann Newton married William Stott
            Betty Newton married Joseph Taylor
            Jane Newton married Jonathan Howarth aka Hall

            all at Oldham St Mary.
