reporting a marriage index error

mistake - I've forgotten how to delete a post

Not your morning is it? Want to go back to bed, then try getting up again?

Provided you're within the time 'allowance' (which I think is fifteen minutes, but don't quote me on that) go to the banner immediately underneath your post which has 'edit post/reply/reply with quote' options. Click edit. To the bottom right of your message you should then have save/go advanced/delete/cancel options. Select delete.

if I really thought it would help, yes.

Henry Adams Newton was a baptist minister by profession (and Elizabeth's family were all baptists), so I guess I'm a little bit surprised if the marriage was in a C of E church.

Parish Records for Holy Trinity, Seers Green are at Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies in Aylesbury, they have not been filmed. Centre has restricted opening hours and charges £5 + £2 postage for copies/transcriptions. More info at:-

Edit: Just seen your post about being Baptists. Centre also has records for non-conformist churches.

You could try being cheeky when you contact the GRO to advise them of the error. Tell them that you've been told that the marriage was at Seer Green Holy Trinity, but as the groom as was Baptist minister and Elizabeth's family were all Baptists you find this a little strange, so would they be able to advise if Seer Green was correct? The worse that can happen is that they'll tell you to buy the certificate.

Alternatively, have you tried looking for a newspaper announcement?

Looking on G** gle Maps The Registrar's Office appears to be adjacent to the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies.

#15 - yes I have tried newspapers without success (there's plenty about Henry's funeral in 1933 though)

forgive my dimness - when you said that 942A locates to Holy Trinity, Seer Green, would that mean Holy Trinity church itself or the parish of Holy Trinity - which might happen to contain a baptist chapel (if you see what I mean)

it looks as if one can check if an entry is in a particular register or not (if I've understood correctly). Unfortunately it requires Microsoft Excell to view.

No one cannot view specific entries. What it lists are the various church etc. records that the Centre have in their collection.

I see, thanks.

Any database program should be able to open it. I use Hancom Office on my tablet & Libre Office on my PC, both opened it without problems, although I did need to select Libre Office on the PC rather than Excell which is the default program.
