  • FreeBMD marriage searches

    Does anyone know how to find a missing entry on FreeBMD when there are only three entries for the page number - from years that have been transcribed in full?

    E.g. I did a search for Eliza Trott Sep Q 1865

    The results I looked at were Taunton Vol 5c Page 596 but there are only three entries for that page, meaning one of the spouses is not there. Any idea how I can find the missing entry?

    I think that you will find the missing name is James Totterdell which has been transcribed as page 396.

        Hi Pat

        I did a search of marriages for that qtr in Taunton.

        There is a range of page numbers 500s and 600s for all the other entries so one for 396 stands out. The original isn't too clear so I wouldn't blame the transcriber for reading the 5 as a 3.

        If the district had been transcribed wrongly then you would have to search by volume and page number.
