I have been using Olde Crone's wonderful instructions on using IGI properly, and have her to thank for quite a few ancestors. However, am I right in thinking that it can only work where the people in question stayed in one place? |

I am not saying that the submitted entries are wrong, that john was born in stert but where did they get the info from. |

Dinah is on the 1841 census, but she has remarried Thomas Ewell Lott, and they are in Northgate St Devizes. John Cole died in 1835 (I have a copy of his will) so nothing there to point me to his place of birth! |

From the blue bar at top of IGI search screen, you can do a film # search in the library catalog |

Thank you. That was what I wasn't sure about - I thought perhaps the IGI record carried the only information there was and the film wouldn't show any more. I am not sure that the marriage was in Stert - I think it may have been Southbroom (also Devizes), which is why I thought he may have just lived in Stert. Presumably the film would tell me that too? |
