Greeting Bristol Listers, I've been working through volume 421 connecting and correcting entries for the NEHGS Massachusetts Vital Records 1841-1919 (subscription requires www.newenglandancestors.org). Most of the Bristol entries were not connected and are now. There are three entries that I haven't fixed: Leary, George E North Attleborough 1892 vol 421 pg 156, that is what the actual index shows, but as this is a Fall River page it isn't correct. Sampson, Edith May, Lynn, 1892 vol 421 pg 192, again this is what the actual index shows, but that is a Fall River page. I haven't worked on the Town of Lynn pages yet. Brown, Harriet A, Fall River, 1892 vol 421 pg 297 per the actual index, but the page is supposed to be Edgartown. Page 297 has the wrong image and I can't check to see if she is supposed to be on Edgartown or somewhere in Fall River pages. What I also haven't done is call up each town, querying by town and year. I'm only up to page 309 out of 722 pages and am still running across column shifts. If you find an 1892 Bristol birth entry out of place, please email me. If you spot the two Bristol entries above, please email me also. Best of luck in your search. Sue Richart NEHGS Volunteer

Hi Sue, All I know is she is on the record for Lenox vol 331 pg 47 and that the year at the top of that page is 1882. Since the births are listed in alphabetical order, they must have been copied to that page from some other source. What the original source has, I don't know. I just know she is listed on the page with births in 1882. The 1900 census also has her b Aug 1882 - but I realize these are not always reliable. In fact, in a number of years Flora "fibs" about her age and her birth year is ca 1885. But since 1900 was when she was living with her parents, and that is the year that included month and year of birth instead of just the age at time of the census, I would hope the date there is correct. The 1881 Lenox birth records for surnames starting with "H" are Vol 322 page 44 and there is no birth for the Henry family there. Florence

Hi Sue, Although this is not a Bristol County problem, I thought I should point out another possibility with images that aren't available. Today I came across this one. Henry Flora Lenox 1881 331 47 Birth image not available The 1900 census has her birth as Aug 1882, so I checked all births in Lenox in 1882. Although she wasn't listed, I noticed there were a number of births that years that were Vol 331 Pg 47. I checked that page and sure enough, her birth was on that image. I searched again using your suggestion for checking just the Vol and Page. Her name is listed, but has the year 1881. Others on the page have 1882. I don't know if that happens often, but thought I would warn listers to ignore the year and select another entry to view the image. Don't assume that it must be a different page because the year is different. It could be an error in the year listed. I have reported the error to NEHGS. Florence

Florence, What I meant by that, is sometimes the wrong date is the correct one, especially if it is a prior year. There are delayed registrations. Usually you will see several of them on a page and often for entries with the same surname as the family gets around to registering their children's births. Since you didn't see a year by her date, that most likely means it is a column shift. Today is the first day this week I've either been home or had enough functioning brain cells to work on bills and other financial stuff. That is my priority at the moment, but I'll get to this fairly soon.

Florence, I'm assuming you checked to make sure her birth year wasn't 1881, correct? If she is 1882, than it is a column shift. I'll check it out in a little bit. I've been getting all the hoses in, since we are going to get rain this week and I'm done with watering for the year.

Greetings Bristol Listers, While looking for something else on www.newenglandancestors.org , I noticed that at least some of the 1903 single entry death records for North Adams, vol 42, had images on the server, but were not connected. If you are looking for a 1903 death listed for volume 42 and it shows no image available, email me off list and I'll try to connect it. It will be awhile before I can just go through each of those pages, so might as well fix your entry first. A reminder, I'm attempting to determine which pages have correct images and which don't, so if your entry (regardless of year or type) shows no image, please call up JUST the volume and page number to see if the first entry is connected. I've connected the first entry only for hundreds of pages in the last couple of months for 1880 to 1910. Sue Richart NEHGS Volunteer repairing the MVR 1841-1910 on-line database Please note, this isn't an offer to do lookups, for those please post to the list. I'm only looking for image availability. There are tens of thousands of corrections still to do and I would rather be working on that.

In the 1907 Directory of New Bedford there is a Gilbert Rushton at 1 Harrison St. In looking at the ship's manifest, I think this could fit. I suspect what looks like a first initial W is actually M or Mr. All just a guess but maybe something that will help. Florence
