I am confused by the IGI records for Bradford. Batch numbers J107655 and K107655 would both appear to be Bishop's transcripts for the Parish church 1790-1812. However they seem to have different records. For example I have sons William and Thomas born to Samuel Lister in 1794 and 1796 in one batch, and daughters Sarah and Hannah born to Samuel Lister in 1796 and 1797 in the other. Am I missing something obvious? Regards Margaret

I have noted some lists seem to have female names only and others male. Is this true with the ones you are talking about?

If you enter the batch numbers on their own, plus the region British Isles and nothing else, you will get the entire list extracted from the BTs for those dates (the technique I described the other day on a different topic). You will then see that all the entries in the J batch are males and all the entries in the K batch are females. For some reason best known to the LDS Church, this is how they chose to extract them. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
