Both sets were on the fiche from which the OPC transcription was made. Neither was dated although the 2nd set was apparently a copy but with either different names or spellings of names. The inference was that the 2nd set had been made by an incumbent who either could not locate the originals at the time or was concerned of their condition. Take care Linda & Tony Hampshire OPC Co-ordinators -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan McGowan Sent: 17 February 2008 21:35 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HAM] Hampshire OPC Upgrade I transcribed Dogmersfield marriages 30 years ago from the original registers, before they were put on fiche. The first set of marriages 1695-1745 contains the original entries. The second set is in the same register, but appears to be a neat copy of the original entries, made at a later date. The person who wrote the "neat copy" has made several errors. Unfortunately the printed transcript of Dogmersfield marriages in Volume 3 of Phillimore's Hampshire Marriages was taken from the "neat copy", and therefore includes the errors. Alan McGowan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hampshire OPC" Today we have uploaded as follows: DOGMERSFIELD BURIALS 1696-1782 DOGMERSFIELD MARRIAGES 1695-1745 (2 SETS) followed by a gap 1745-1754 and then complete for 1755-1912 DOGMERSFIELD BAPTISMS 1695-1766 All of these have been transcribed by WENDY KOUVARDINE (thanks,Wendy!) Where it refers to 2 sets of marriages 1695 -1745, there were literally 2 different registers with similar entries but in some cases, different spellings and in some, different names!
