Perhaps it is also worth saying that when you find an entry of interest on a2a it is often worth clicking on 'show full catalogue'. This gives an item by item list of the documents in the collection - not in general the names in them of course, though occasionally a document with just one or two names do have them given - but with a church you find all the ancillary material that has been deposited Regards Cliff Webb --- On Sun, 3/1/10, J K gen <gen2mail@googlemail.com> wrote: From: J K gen <gen2mail@googlemail.com> Subject: Re: [SRY] LONDON MARRIAGES & BANNS 1754-1921 To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, 3 January, 2010, 18:06 Abslutely right of course. But one needs to use the A2A catalogue as the LMA's own "London Generations" only quotes X numbers NOT P numbers. For example, one I happen to be chasing now is a William Levens marriage in 1872 This is on Ancestry, and the source citation is London Metropolitan Archives, Saint Martin, Kentish Town, Register of marriages, P90/MTN, Item 013 The London Generations catalogue gives: [All boroughs]  1871 Dec - 1875 Dec    X089/185 SAINT MARTIN, KENTISH TOWN, VICARS ROAD, CAMDEN Register of marriages The National Archives has changed its website (AGAIN......!!!!) and the tabbed link to A2A has disappeared, the front page for A2A has also changed so as a quick exercise the following comes up for Martin Kentish Town Reference    P90/MTN Covering dates    1865 - 1989 Held by    London Metropolitan Archives Extent    69 Files There's a very useful paragraph about the church - nice added extra. Nevertheless whilst the source citation at Ancestry and TNA will be the same, the one on London Generations won't be. Hugely annoying. Let's hope LMA get their act together soon as well as Ancestry sorting out their even more irritating errors.
