Merry Just noticed what you wrote about viewing the marriage for Sarah Ann Tinkler on FreeBMD, and that it came up with Islington etc. Where did you get that from? If i put her name in, the first marriage in that name comes up 1n 1867 maureen

FreeBMD You told be the year and quarter you had found Sarah A Tinkler. As you say, it isn't transcribed yet, but you can still view it by going to FreeBMD main page, then View Images. It gives you a series of boxes to fill in - for the year, the quarter, what type of entry etc. Eventually you get to the list of pages, in this case for marriages beginning with ''T''. Then you download a few pages until you find the ones with Tinkler on. It's slower than 1837online, but if you are only after one entry in one quarter and you are tight like me, then it's worth it!! Not every year is on this system, but I think most is. Sounds as if you will get lucky in the end. Lets hope Martha's birth cert reveals something useful! Merry
