  • I have the certificate but.........?

    I have the wedding certificate of my great great grandparents which shows they were married on 7th October 1847 but on checking them out on IGI they are recorded as having got married on 30th September 1847 ?
    Where would they have got this date from..........It was on the pilot search, so not submitted.

    Jen it's most likely that they have the Banns book transcribed.

    I've found alot of mine on there recently.

      Yes that makes sense Jay, that site has been very helpful for finding lot's of info. I expect it would have to be the Banns.....just seems odd to put it under marriages. Thanks Jay.

        I've done some transcribing & there's only baptism, marriage & burial.

        According to the info on there banns should be input as marriage & the date of the last banns indexed as the event date.

          Well after having found one or two of mine with only Banns dates but no actual marriage date, I can understand why now. It's a good pointer.
