I wholeheartedly agree. It would go against the ethos of 'type what you see', but it would give additional helpful information to searchers, where that data is known for pre-1912 marriages. The main limitation is that it would depend on personal research data and would be independent of the transcription process. At the present time the amount of personal data submitted to FreeBMD as a proportion of the 15 million entries is small, and may not justify the programming necessary. Dave Mayall would want to comment on the programming and indexing implications, but I suspect that links would have to be as supplementary data and be the responsibility of the contributor. Having said that I would like to see the links included. Perhaps BDMExchange (if they are back online) could contribute and provide an additional link.
