    Then you would need to go back when the film arrived to view it. I think they can keep the films for several weeks to allow you to spend plenty of time on them!

    Here's their website:

    Home - Hyde Park Regional Family History Centre

    it does say....(amongst other things) "Microfilms of church records of more than 8500 English and Welsh parishes" so you might get lucky and they might have the PR in stock!
    oooh see I've never seen that particular site before. Thank you.

      Caroline Hannah Kendall born 7 August 1841 at 3 Old North Street. Appears on the 1851 census at 21 Minories, and then on the 1861 census as a barmaid in Nicholas Lane in the City up the road from the Minories RG9/227.

      She marries a George Daniel Duff in Croydon Dec 1862 unfortunately poor old Georgie died in abt Sep 1865! Not lucky this lot on the men front either that or they had a little industry of life insurance going on - sorry I jest.

      Anyway no siting again for our Caroline Hannah. We've lost her!

          Yes sorry I am a bit keen. I thought John and Caroline was a dead end already.

          I do know that if anyone ever researches me and puts me in a family tree it'll be a lot easier, I have travelled far and wide but came back to my roots and will spend the next 20 years on the computer. Easy peasy.

            I think the LDS have a distribution centre near Birmingham for films/fisches that are ordered.

            I think they usually say they'll be in the LDS centre in about two weeks after ordering unless they are already out.

            Don't know how many copies of each one is available

              I wouldn't say John and Caropline are a complete dead end my any means, just that we can't do anything as the appropriate records are not online!

              As for Mrs Duff.....I'm sure you know this, but to save others looking the same as I did.......this:

              Deaths Q2 1872
              DUFF Caroline 29 Pancras 1b 71


              isn't her! lol

                That's not her. I think that one was born a Duff.

                When I said dead end I meant for this purpose.

                  Merry - there is one other error (among many) that I came across the other day. This involves the collating of all the quarterly index pages for a particular initial letter and then numbering them sequentially (looks as if they used a numbering machine). I found one instance where two successive pages had been transposed before numbering. Unfortunately Ancestry filmed and indexed the pages in numerical rather than alphabetical order, so the Millers came after the Millses.

                    Don't quite understand what you mean Uncle John!?? Why would n alphabetical list be numbered sequentially?

                    maggie, the Caroline Duff who died in 1872 was most likely the wife of William Duff. They were both from the Isle of Man.

                      Right then, Ancestry FreeBMD births, 1838, quarter 1, letter M.

                      Image 27 is page number 438: Miller to Millington
                      Image 28 is page number 439: Mills to Minal
                      Image 29 is page number 440: Millington to Mills

                      Geddit now? My Jane (you may remember, which of 3 births in the same quarter in Newcastle) was on Image 28, which starts half way through Mills. Go back one page and you are back to Millington. Go forward one page and there is the start of Mills.

                        Yes, got it now. Those typed pages would have been made some time at the beginning of the 20th C as replacements for hand written pages. I should imagine the pages were typed before they were stamped with a page number, so the pages were placed in the wrong order before they were numbered and bound.

                        These things are sent to try us! lol

                          I think that's what I said in the first place :p

                              How do the LDS transcribe the IGI entries, ie from what source?

                                From the Parish Registers or the Bishop's transcripts usually.

                                Certainly NOT from the civil records. (though submitted entries can come from anywhere, inc the imagination of the submitter!)

                                  That's true for England and Wales (as far as I know), but there are certainly lots of Irish entries taken from the civil registration records, and I think Scottish ones too?

                                    Oooh, yes...sorry! I don't have any Irish of Scots ancestors, so I never look at those! (some of the Indian ones also have birth records)

                                        To get back on topic...

                                        I think I may have found Caroline senior's father on the 1841 census. Don't know if you already have this?

                                        And in 1851:

                                          And in 1861:
                                          RG9/1250 Folio 57 Page 18
                                          East Street, Docking, Norfolk:
                                          Mary Cook Head W 71 Washerwoman Norfolk Great Massingham
                                          William Cook Son U 48 Almsman (Idiot) Norfolk Docking

                                          In 1871 William (junior) is an inmate in the workhouse in Docking. I can't see Mary, but I can't see a death for her on FreeBMD before the one in Jun 1881 (age 90).
