    3. Hi I live in Australia, born in Canada and am researching my mothers family from Wiltshire. Most of them came from Bulford and surrounds. I have been researching all branches of my family for over 20 years and a lot of my information was second hand. I am now trying to research all family extensions and find "sources" to authenticate it all. I bit the bullet and joined ancestry.com (sooo expensive) but found transcribing errors there too, which makes searches difficult. I am currently looking for a marriage of Kezia PIKE (Aaron & Elizabeth) to a George Spreadbury. On the 61 census There is George Spreadbury and wife Kezia born Bulford, with niece Maria age 5 (dau of brother Samuel) so am quite sure this is her. The problem is I can't find a marriage. On the indexes there is a Jozia (sic) Pike married 2nd quarter 1859 in Andover district but there is no corresponding entry as to who she married. Is there SKS that can look for this marriage for me so I can authenticate it. Thanks Robin

    3. Hello Robin, I just looked at the index image (and you can too if your subscription to Ancestry.com includes the UK) The transcription of Jozia is wrong. Definitely your couple: Kezia PIKE and George SPREADBURY married 1859-Q2, Andover, 2c/329 Regards, Janet (Ontario, Canada) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob" <drullette@iinet.net.au> To: <ENG-WILTSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 11:12 PM Subject: [ENG-WIL] Ancestors in Wiltshire. > Hi > I am currently looking for a marriage of Kezia PIKE (Aaron & Elizabeth) to a > George Spreadbury.
