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. JK
They all make mistakes; grandfather was "baptised" on a different continent according to 'an extracted' record on LDS IGI Philip Maddocks ----- Original Message ----- From: "J K gen" <gen2mail@googlemail.com> To: <eng-surrey@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 6:06 PM Subject: Re: [SRY] LONDON MARRIAGES & BANNS 1754-1921 > Abslutely right of course.
