Kia Ora David Guess I'm just being pernickety about Riseley! I have a marriage 1788 and the film and the IGI gives me a first Baptism for the couple in 1791. Preceding the 1790/91 Baptisms is a note (on film) which says the 2 pages are missing - presumably 1787-89 (have no idea how many Baptisms are missing!) I have picked up Thomas born Riseley 1789 from later censii, his being a witness at his sister's marriage in 1812 and the baptism of his own first born in Riseley . I should be satisfied I suppose but it would be nice to confirm Thomas's parents by the Baptism. A 1789 Baptism fits perfectly. Now where did his father wandering Willie come from? In 1841 he was 80 and NOT from Beds! On the 1803 Militia List he was 34 putting his birth at 1769 and much closer to his wife's age at marriage in 1788. Most inconveniently he died in 1844, before leaving me a clue in 1851! IF ONLY the other Counties were as willing to share their information! I've been waiting 5 weeks for fiche to arrive at the LDS for Northamptonshire - just one village ! And that family of 19 went to several villages - almost all in Northants! Patience is a virtue!

But many, but not all, are included on the BVRI, and of the rest most have been filmed by the LDS. Milton Ernest is one such example - extracted up to 1812 from the transcript, but post 1812 has been extracted neither to the IGI nor the BVRI. And yes, it's illogical that marriages from 1838-85 have been extracted, but that's the LDS for you. If you check the film notes for Milton Ernest there's a lot of detail as to what is on the film - you would need to check with BLARS to see if they have the marriage registers 1813-37. > > I'm just grateful that so much of Beds has been extracted. > > The IGI for Riseley is extracted from the transcript prepared by Bedford Records office, which itself was an amalgamation of the parish register and the Bishop's Transcript, so if it's in the 1789 BT it should appear on the IGI. But by all means check the BT just to make sure - it's interesting that there are no baptisms on the IGI for Riseley 1787-9 > > David > > Marlene Shipman <[email protected]> a écrit : Hi Peter > I can't explain it but I found some extras on the BVRI which are not > online.
