Hi Martin Up to volume 123 of BDM were copied onto microfilm and released for sale, purchased by some Libraries and historical societies at the time. More were given out to Libraries by the Government, to country areas in ARK kits. Then someone [Government?] changed their mind about releasing the records and no more volumes were copied. The first entry is in Volume 115 but the second is in volume 146 so has to be purchased. I am not 100% sure about the double entries but think one is the result of copying the full church entry and the other a copy sent in by the church, for BDM of what they required at the time.
