    3. It's good to get the list back again! There is an error in the Boston and Horncastle Registration districts. I have sent new spreadsheets and introductions to the chap who hosts the website for me but they may not appear immediately. Thornton le Fen aka Wildmore is in Boston Registration District but has been included in Horncastle RD. Thornton by Horncastle is missing from the Horncastle RD introduction. I have now put the Wildmore marriages (1837-1900) into the Boston RD spreadsheet and added Thornton by Horncastle into the Horncastle RD intro. Thornton by Horncastle seems not to have been transcribed but will be done from 1837 to 1911 when I get to the "T"s. The history of Wildmore Fen is complicated. This is the explanation given by Lincolnshire Archives: "Wildmore was formed as a parish in 1880 from the fen allotments of West Ashby, Horncastle, Mareham on the Hill, Moorby, Roughton, Thimbleby, High Toynton, Low Toynton and Wood Enderby, and detached parts of Bolingbroke, Coningsby, Haltham, Tattershall, Tattershall Thorpe, Thornton le Fen, Toynton All Saints and Wilksby. The documents mainly refer to the chapel at Thornton le Fen, which was built in 1816 and became part of the consolidated parish of Wildmore." The registers for Wildmore begin in 1816 for baptisms and 1818 for marriages and burials.
