Forum: IGI

I have just gone to look at the England Births and Baptisms on Family Search and have scrolled down the European Collections page only to discover that all the England collections are missing. Can someone else take a look please and confirm that they really have disappeared!

Does everyone like this new version, or is it just me that has trouble? Even with the advanced search option I seem to get loads of results that I don't want. For instance I might want a birth/baptism record and amongst some baptisms I get census from various years. I have a subscription to FMP...

Is it possible to identify which church IGI records relate to? I've found an entry for a baptism in Rye in 1881, but I can't find a way of seeing where the baptism took place. Is one to just assume it was the parish church? I'm guessing there is more than one possible church in Rye? David

Seems to be down today (Link to FS not working) - does anyone know if this is temporary or something to do with the new Family Search site?

I have been trying to find the parents of one Richard POTER or POTTER and have two IGI references that I don't understand. One states that he was born 'about 1714 ... of Stretton' and the spouse's name is 'unavailable'. (Ref 537960) That leads to 'endowments for the dead, 1877-1970' etc. which...

Hi, I have found a marriage for a maybe ancestor, I have the reference details William Albert Griffith registration quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1899 volume number: 2 page number: 261 digital folder number: 4195895

Can someone please have a go at finding this record for me to order a marriage cert? Marriage for Catharine Roper (or Catherine) and Matthew Glilean (probably Gillianne) 03 JUN 1849 Cathedral, Manchester, Lancashire, England I've found Matthew in 1881, 1891, 1901, with a second wife,...

There are on Family Search, a batch of submitted parish record marriages from St. Mary at Lambeth which have neither a specific date or bride's surname. I cannot find the marriage it lists on Ancestry parish records so am dubious it exists. It's a marriage of a John Jones to Sarah 1792 St. Mary...

When looking at submitted records, I have a baptism of the groom in PERRANORWORTHAL, Cornwall on Aug. 25, 1799 and a marriage in the same parish to an Elzabeth TREWEEG on Mar. 13, 1823. How do I go about confirming this detail?|help||help| All their kids were born before 1837, the census...

I have just found 2 baptismal records on the Record Pilot for a distant cousin, and am confused. The first is for Thomas Bengough, son of Thomas Bengough and Elizabeth, baptised 9 October 1829 at Aston Juxta Birmingham . The 2nd record is dated 19 Oct 1829 and at first sight would appear to...

Hi all I have been on the FamilySearch Beta site and I have found lots of baptisms and marriages for my ancestors and I would like to order a photocopy of these. I have just found out which forms to download and print/fax off to the LDS but the only options they have for payment is money order...

From details in the censuses my gg/grandmother Alice Barlow was born C1828 in Newton (Newton Heath) near Manchester. The IGI batch No. for All Saints church is C020822 and for the last 10 years I have been trying to find her Baptism in the IGI and the original church records without success , this...

After changing my desktop recently I lost all my bookmarks Previously, the page I had bookmarked for the IGI was the one that lists all countries and then when it came to England it listed record collections held. More specifically it had the Bishops Transcripts for Durham. All I can seem to...

Hi All, Looking at the record search facility for the Baptism of William Kilner 1791 in Yorkshire I found two which match but have different Batch No's so which film would I order? William Kilner 07 Aug 1791, West Clayton, York, Eng. Parents Joshua & Martha Kilner. Batch No: 104566-5. ...

I'm guessing that this question has been covered before, but reading several related threads, I can't find the answer - so here comes the question again. :biggrin: Looking at the IGI entry for the marriage of George Gill & Esther Badman, the entry reads as follows: George Gill Male...

Hello, forgive my ignorance but a couple of years ago on the IGI I found some extractions from parishes. I checked them again a couple of months ago to see if I could glean any further info from them and lo and behold they seem to have disappeared, is it possible? - they were there before :eek:

Hello all, I notice that there are many others like me that live in foreign parts but research UK parishes and wondered if this may help. Being not very confident in French, I had been unable to get to grips with the LDS here (there is a FHL about 30 mins away) and thought my research would be...

This has probably been said before, but it may be worth saying it in the IGI part of the forum: Let's suppose you have found your ancestor's christening in the online IGI, as an "extracted record"--that is, a transcription of a Parish Register. (There will be a "Batch Number" below, probably...

As has often been mentioned, submitted entries can be unreliable. I found a great one today. A marriage was recorded where the bride's name was given as "Briton Ferry" - this was (according to the Pallot's entry) the place of residence of the groom and not the bride! |laugh1| Unusually for a...
