Something strange for you!

Under Cambridgeshire Parish records on A* is the following:

John Haynes b. and Ann Bartlet Miller sp. 16 July 1820

Marriages at Curry Rivel 1642-1812
Collection: Cambs register of marriages 1538-1837

Ive googled Curry Rivel and its in Somerset, how weird is this? - unless, of course, Somerset is the brides parish where they wed and been entered under Cambridgeshire marriages because that maybe the groom's parish?

Let's just say that A* would fail 99.9999999999% of any tests you gave it on English counties.

The new Familysearch site says that the Haynes/Miller marriage took place in Eltisley (Cambridgeshire). Source quoted is film number 88600 which the LDS catalogue says is Eltisley parish registers, i.e. the transcription on Familyserarch has been taken from the PRs.

There is certainly a family by the name of HOVELL (William & Mary to be exact) having children from at least 1763 onwards according to the parish registers of Denver (courtesy of Family Search). Not that this helps at all with your search for John HAINES but at least you should have a good chance of tracing back Ann's line.

I agree with you Pam, along with the many other 'little errors'!

Searching Jones I came across the following:

Wanwang Jones b1839 St Martin in the Fields, and with a name like that I just had to look at the image!
- which reads Mainwaring Jones b1839..some poor soul will search forever for that one!
