Am forwarding this message, addressed to me, to the list. Am sure Margaret meant it for all. Jennifer -----Original Message----- From: margaret murray [mailto:mmjm.murray@virgin.net] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 7:23 AM To: Jennifer David Subject: Re: [CoTyIre] Ireland Civil registrations Hello again, Further to my earlier message I have just received today a letter from the General Register Office Northern Ireland stating that they cannot find any marriage record for my gr-grandparents using the information I had supplied. The LDS pilot site had both parties with the same volume # and page # and as both names were those of my gr-grandparents I was more than a little hopeful it was them, and expected there to be a record. However since this wasn't the case I phoned the office and explained the situation, and asked if it would have been helpful if I had given the volume # and page # as listed on the LDS pilot site, although there was no-where on the application form to fill this in. I was told no, and that they did not know where the LDS got those numbers from and that they may not be the same as the register office s own numbers, so they have been told to disregard those numbers, and since they could find no record of the marriage I was after, that was basically that!! Margaret.

wow, LDS seems to have dropped the ball on this for sure. It's disappointing. Tammy Jennifer David wrote: > Am forwarding this message, addressed to me, to the list.

Hello Margaret, Just as a matter of interest what were the details of the certificate you were looking for? I'm afraid I don't have your original email.
