Hi Robert Magazine only just arrived and I have not yet had the time to read it. Like Polly I have been using this as a guide for a very long time, did not feel the need to shout about it as it would appear to be obvious, but sometimes what is staring us in the face is exactly what we miss. I love Cardinal Points, with the aid of the CPs submitted by all those likeminded souls not only can you see the inferred marriage partner but the place that the union took place. I often wonder what is happening to the Parish Locator, I have collected many CPs and I use them regularly to help me find locations.

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?

Jennifer, by "Parish Locator" did you mean the "Marriage Locator" - the website which, given the GRO details of year, quarter, volume, and page, tells you where the marriage took place? This is still going strong at www.marriage-locator.co.uk, as a Guild service available to the general public. It derives its data from the GMI, from "marriage points" which identify locations as well as from "cardinal points", and gets updated regularly from the updates made to the GMI. Currently the website says that the Database has "613,844 marriage-locator points (of which 327,679 are 'cardinal points') in 1,336 Registration Districts." (And it's mentioned in the latest Journal - page 8!)
