Hello Frank I think this is probably what they call a 'User submitted entry' in which case there isn't anywhere to look for it. If you imagine someone has found a marriage then they will assume that the person must have been born perhaps about 25 years earlier and submitted an entry to fit those circumstances but of course the person marrying may have been a few years younger or several years older and could originally have come from anywhere. It is just possible that the information came from a family source like a Family Bible but you are unlikely to be able to trace its source. These entries are not very helpful to the wider audience!
