Hi Jenny, This record is actually for John Jackson, to whom I was replying. I'm sure he will read it on this list anway. Just for the record, I too have purchased a record from this source, for John Richard Blake's marriage (to Alice.) Under Alice's father's name was typed "Hobart." I knew this was incorret because Alice Thornhill and Dr. Richard Hobart were my gt.gt. grandparents.....and so of course Alice was a widow when she married John Richard Blake. I then purchased a copy of the actual marriage certificate from the G.R.O which gave the correct information - John Richard Blake m. Alice Hobart, widow. I think if it is possible, then it's best to have the original certificate. I'm not knocking the IFHF because it's a great site, but If I hadn't already known the facts I may have followed the wrong person for years, or forever! Thanks, Judie. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenny Martin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 12:40 PM Subject: Parish Records for Cork Hi Judy, You will have to spend €5 euros but look what is on this site after putting STEFF only into search engine.

Hi Judie, Apologies for misspelling your name and sending to the wrong person. Thank you for your input very much appreciated. If I hadn't been in such a hurry I would have also added, to go back to original documents as we cannot rely entirely on transcriptions. We promote this strongly in NZ and if one can't look at the original, then ask for a photo copy of the record as if you just ask for a certificate it can be a transcribed one. We recognise little things on the original document that someone copying may think not important and difficult hand writing is something we can recognise if we have prior knowledge of the person we are seeking. So John, if you read this heed the good advice from us both.
