IGI confusion

[colwyn]

In the census Alice gives her place of birth as Newton (Newton Heath) and her dob would be C1828 and on the marriage cert her fathers name is John Barlow, a weaver. So the new entry seems to fit the details I have . I have previously viewed the church records and could find no entry for Alice Barlow , so this leaves me wondering if the record is for 'Olive' and has been transcribed incorrectly as 'Alice'...... Looks like its back to the original records next time I can get through to M/c. archives.

I'm not an expert, but I'll try.

Some of the Record Search databases include images, most don't.

For England, the main databases that do have images are browsable only (not searchable). These are accessed from the Browse Collections page. Scroll down to United Kingdom, and look at Durham BTs and Norfolk PRs.

I believe there are no onsite images for the searchable databases. These are transcripts only, with links to images provided by outside commercial sites, such as Ancestry, FMP and BMDregisters, where access obviously has to be paid for unless you subscribe.

I'm happy to stand corrected by those who know better and/or can explain better.

I use the London LDS centre frequently and can confirm that the transcripts are primarily from their film base with images currently available for Norfolk and Durham as above. There are links to FMP for census returns and non-conformist records and these require a subscription but the London centre provides free access to FMP (as well as Ancestry etc).
