The problem is that the LDS are trying to resolve your problem by suggesting what is the most common fix for current problems That being browser problems, they like most help assistants can only base their advice on what they think the problem is as described by the user Many users are having problems with browsers, Chrome in particular, so they may have thought that was your issue as well Nothing to do with being redirected In the case of the marriage you found in the old IGI, I would suggest you found it on the old site and kept a record of it, when new familysearch was launched it did not and still does not include patron submissions from the old IGI, hence why you couldn't find it You can interrogate the old IGI as I described previously, that would be the only other way you could have found it The LDS were clearly not expecting your having found it in the old IGI and that is why they didn't mention it Nancy is not a diminutive of Susanna Variants of Nancy are Annis, later Ann(e), Nanette, Nanny Agnes and Nancy are commonly interchangeable in Scotland But not Susanna Variants of Susanna are Susan, Sukie, Susannah You would need to search out the marriage to prove it is correct and not a figment of someones imagination, more often those with just a year are made up to fit other events, whereas a date as yours has tends to have some basis of truth, but I would certainly not accept it without some other evidence The reason you only get the births on the present familysearch is they have those transcribed but not the marriage, that does not mean it doesn't exist, only that they may not have reached that record so far Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 12/12/2014 14:21, Liz & Tom Thompson via wrote: > > Hello to all, > > Many, many thanks to all those who responded over my FamilySearch problem. > It is truly remarkable how people rally round. > > I have found the Thomas Mitchell/Susanna Tregelly marriage entry and have > printed it off for safe keeping! > > However, I'm still puzzled over how this problem came about.

Hello, Again, thanks to everyone who spared the time to help me solve the problem. >From the advice received, and because the Tregelly result is from a submitted source, I have decided to forgo it, although I will keep the record. It appears that my main option now is to bite the bullet and, against my instincts, invest in FMP, since Devon CC has sold out to them. I will then be able to trawl through the marriage records for Devon parishes. But, before I do, could someone please explain how the credits work. Does one credit give access to one Parish, one record, one page or just one line on the page? If only the latter, I will have to go for a more expensive package. Many thanks, Tom Thompson.
My opinion is that credits make sense only for the limited/occasional user, as the cost mounts every time you look at a record. So for the person using the site on a regular basis, the subscription will usually make more sense in the long run. You can get the UK subscription and save a few pounds compared to the world subscription, but admittedly it is still pricey. When I was buying world subscriptions for Ancestry and FMP plus a few other US websites, it really added up. The LDS Family History Centers usually have access to these premium websites and can be used at the center without charge. There are two in Cornwall, at Helston and at St Austell (I think that they do not have a center at the church in Redruth), but neither is immediately adjacent to St Agnes for a quick look up for something you are researching. The hours are limited (longer opening times in Plymouth), so you would want to confirm opening and available resources before making the trip and probably make a list of all the things for which you are looking in order to maximize the efficiency of your visit there.

The marriage is not on FMP yet. I've already checked. There are no Brixton marriages pre 1754 and only films of originals after 1759.
