Can some one advise me on this please? done a search on LDS IGI for Thomas Godfrey,child of Benjamin and Sarah Godfrey,found an entry for christening,entered the batch no to see if any more sibling etc, fourteen names came up but not all same parish,some in Derby and others in Nottingham.I thought when you had batch nos all entries were from same parish and family,Am I doing something wrong? Many Thanks Kathleen

It does seem as if the same numbers re used in different areas. To find siblings, put the names of the parents in the appropriate boxes. If you don't know their names, then at least choose the correct county, that cuts down the range of names that appear. Jan.
