Last night I had an email from someone who had a reply from Family Search about 6 hours after my reply with a case ID about 3000 after mine. The reply below is much more sympathetic and is asking for details of the problem.:- "Thank you for contacting FamilySearch concerning incorrect data place entries n the index of Bristol parish registers. We have been examining the known issues for entries for Abbot's Leigh. We would be grateful if you could supply the record details of entries for each of the parishes you refer to which are incorrect. This will enable us to examine the data in detail. Please copy and paste the record details for incorrect entries in order that we can examine the original images for relevant parishes and the film numbers as there is clearly an error." Below are the errors I have been able to identify from comparing info I have with the Family Search data:- Kingswood Marriages 1837- 1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Mangotsfield Marriages 1837-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Mangotsfield Baptisms listed as Abbots Leigh Pucklechurch baptisms listed as Abbots Leigh Pucklechurch Marriages 1837-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Westerleigh Marriages 1837-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Warmley Marriages 1851-1900 listed as Abbots Leigh Hanham Abbots St George Marriages 1847-1888 listed as Abbots Leigh Hanham Christchurch marriages 1889-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Oldland St Anne Marriages 1861-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Syston Marriages 1837-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Wick Marriages 1881- 1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Iron Acton St James marriages 1837-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Stoke Gifford Marriages 1837-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Frenchay St John marriages 1837-1901 listed as Abbots Leigh Frampton Cotterell Marriages 1837 - 1901 listed as Abbots Leigh I suspect that for the parishes listed above the Baptism, Marriage and Burial registers have all been added to Family Search under Abbots Leigh.

Chris, Possibly St. Nicholas, Bristol is one other listed as Abbots Leigh. My 3xgreat grandmother Rosannah LANSDOWN married her second cousin Joseph GREENLAND 11 Sep 1815 @ St. Nicholas. I defer to Josephine because she looked this up for me and I'm sure has a better idea about such things as I do not live in or near Bristol. Thanks for all your hard work on this.

Hi Susan, I've just checked on another St. Nicholas marriage, that of Benjamin CANNON and Hannah YOUNG, which according to the B & A FHS Marriage Index 1813-1837, took place on 31st. January 1813 at St. Nicholas, Bristol. The new familysearch site has the marriage of Benjamin CANNON and Hannah YOUNG on the same date at Abbots Leigh.
