Special thanks to Anne Cole and the transcriptions team for their help with a brick wall.   Eliza Skipworth was born after the 1851 census, at Halton Holegate. There is apparantly no surviving census return for Halton Holegate in 1861, so she is not recorded with her family. In the 1871 census she is a 19 year old servant, living away from home, in Spilsby, born Halton Holegate.   Now the marriage index tells me that her father was Owen Skipworth so I am in no doubt where to place her, although there were a number of Skipworth families in and around Halton Holegate.   Apart from purchasing the birth certificate (not considered as she belongs to a remote branch of the family), the only other possibility was FreeReg (assuming she was baptised).  I wonder if the FreeReg coordinators are aware that the missing census records make Halton Holegate parish records particularly valuable?   I have digressed rather from the original intention of sending a big thank you to the Index team, and hope the feedback will be of interest.   Mary in NZ ________________________________ From: "eng-lincsgen-request@rootsweb.com" <eng-lincsgen-request@rootsweb.com> To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, 27 March 2012 8:00 PM Subject: ENG-LINCSGEN Digest, Vol 7, Issue 155 ----- Forwarded Message ----- Today's Topics:   1.
