Ruth/Jan, As I understand it, there are only St Mary's marriages for late 16th/early 17th century on both IGI and the Online Parish clerks sites. OPC are transcribing more at present.

So there can always be mistakes there. On the LDS Library Catalogue, there are several Parish reg. on film for Eccles, but I didn't see St.Mary's. You could check there, just in case I missed it. If you do find one, or any others of interest, you can attend any LDS Family History centre and order the film in, then read at your leisure [they give you a month] when it comes in.Costs 5dollars in Australia to do this.You can also get a photocopy of any entry relevant. Also If there is a source no: on the bottom of the IGI entry, you could find out who put in the submission by ordering that film.If there is a batch no:[double click and it will come up in the IGI search engine] you can find out what else they put in at the same time. Hope this has been of some help to you, Yours in Genealogy, Jan, in sunny Queensland, Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: <RuthGenda@aol.com> To: <eng-manchester@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 12:34 AM Subject: [ENG-MAN] CROFT and IGI CORRECTIONS >I have two questions today. > > First, back to the CROFT family again.
