    Default Missing Year 1826 from Ancestry

    With great delight I have found a much wanted marriage on the IGI

    Thomas Downs m. Elizabeth Shien ( she was Sheehan) 26 July 1826. St Mary Newington, Southwark.

    I go to Ancestry to see it and find the on-line marriage records go from 1825 to 1827 and all other years continuous.

    Now I know there are gremlins and there are gremlins.

    But this one.... well has anyone seen 1826 or noticed same ??

    I have found some misfiling of things on Ancestry before in the Poor Law Records for London

    I swear that at times Ancestry couldn't index aardvark and abacus in the correct order.

    There's quite a lot of Newington St Mary registers indexed under Newington Holy Trinity - found by browsing the drop-down options on the right-hand side of the page.
    Couldn't see the July registers for 1826 though.
    Tedious job, but it might be worth going through all the parishes in Southwark, and if necessary, then the other boroughs to see if they've been mis-allocated. Though because the marriage doesn't show on a search, then chances are that it's either been omitted from the scanning by Ancestry in the first place, or just hasn't made it to the website.
