Hi - I was just about to order a birth cert using the info from transcribed Ancestry records but double-checked the actual image first and now I am not sure that the page number has been transcribed correctly by Ancestry.

Was wondering if I could ask a few of you to have a look at the following entry for me and let me know what you think before I order the cert. Have tried ringing GRO but got caught up in their recorded messages, going round in circles!

JOSEPH PRIESTLEY
SEPT QTR
1849
ST OLAVE BERMONDSEY
VOL 4
PAGE either 435 or 485

(Ancestry have got 435 but to me it looks like 485)

Many thanks - Athena

Many thanks, Linda and Pam. Will order it with more confidence now. Just wanted to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me LOL.

Cheers - Athena
