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!
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!

I did have another brick wall ^^^ or have I used all your patience up already? :p
Maggie, just give us a day or two to work on that one!
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.
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.

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.

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?

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

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).
