The CD is loaded correctly and I have set it up correctly as far as I can see because I can access the Hartley Jones data on the same CD with no trouble. However when I try to accesss the Bertrand Merrrell data I get a "Run Time Error 75 " message. <<snipped>> The CD may be physically failing. Mine gave up some time ago - basically, the plastic rots. However, unless I am much mistaken, the BM Index was compiled from the Bishop's Transcripts and is still only an index. The BTs and the PRs have been indexed on FamilySearch so there is no point to trying to resurrect the BM Index. Unless I'm missing something??? Adrian B

Adrian, Thanks for your input. My interest in the BM index is that I am faced with a choice of marriages for James LEIGH of Stockport to a Sarah in the period 1800-1818. I know that James came from a hatting family and on the FHSC CD of North & East Cheshire Marriages (which complements the BM index) one possible James is quoted as being a printer which suggests that he is not my man. That detail is omitted from the Family Search record and I was wondering if any similar details for the other contenders were on the BM index to help me to focus future research into the original records.
