Often ancestry can't find the spouse but you can always search for it by first going to the image and then using the search tools at the top - in this instance go to 'C' and judging by the number of pages in total guess where the COOLER name would be - there are actually 177 pages and I chose to go to 70 too low so then try 80 too high - remember your Math binary chop method? So go to 75 too short so then just tag through and you find him on pp 77. Yes it's quicker in this instance to go to freebmd maybe but this is more fun. BTW the original index itself is at fault it has "COOLER" as the spouse where it should be COOLEN.   Paul Eggleton ________________________________ From: Caroline Bradford <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 11:47 PM Subject: Re: [MDX] COOLER ? & LUCAS Margaret Florence Hi Marcelle FreeBMD should always be ones first port of call for searching civil registration indices (except possibly for deaths after 1865 - only Ancestry allows you to search the death index on an approximate date of birth) and is now pretty much complete well into the 20th century. Here is the marriage Marriages Sep 1958  COOLEN  Charles J  LUCAS  Wood Green  5f 1659    LUCAS  Margaret F  COOLER  Wood Green  5f 1659 Ancestry was clearly struggling because of the difference in Charles's surname.
