Robert I assume that you have already explored all of the options available in the Local BMD projects? These list not only the person marrying but also the name of the church. Have a look at www.UKBMD.org.uk/local_bmd - it may well save you a lot more work. The subject was covered by Ian Hartas at the seminar in Preston in 2015 Regards John Hanson Researcher, The Halsted Trust Website - www.halstedresearch.org.uk -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Fowler via Sent: 03 April 2016 07:06 To: Goons Forum Subject: [G] Members Spot Quiz - IMP on the GMI MM ??? Answers Provided Hi There has been zero discussion on this Forum about the IMP concept, mentioned in the Mar-Jun Journal 2016. So I have knocked together a quick quiz, for those that do not understand Inferred Marriage Partners. 1. What are IMP marriages? 2. What use are IMP marriages? 3. Will they be searchable on the GMI? 4. Where will the information come from? 5. Can we made it easier for Marriage Challengers? Before the answers, link to an even older article on the subject: http://www.one-name.org/members/journal/articles/vol11-9_Fowler.pdf 1. A simple concept for marriages 1852-1911 where four names are listed, if two are paired the remaining two can also be matched. 2. GMI is the source of all information we know about marriages for new members etc. The more information the better. 3. Not yet but soon, I am advised - but all my IMPs are already submitted. 4. From a detailed study of all Fowler marriages on the GMI, 90%+ currently come from MCs & CPs. 5 Yes Give them the information with your MC submission !!! The Hungerford MC closes on the 9th April, to see my suggestion for editing the standard submissions Excel: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RTLPQUKaVn7wU-hpUp03CxNCVZBoVYPmFRjc bIoAxWw/edit#gid=1878539376 As the meerkat says - "SIMPLE". Why the initiative for this needs to come from me ? - No Idea, any support out there, on am I ploughing a lone furrough?
