Christine, will you be able to get someone to make the correction in the SFHG data archive? Kind regardsChristine JacksonSFHG 397 From: Marion Woolgar <listmail008@btinternet.com> To: 'Christine Jackson' <jackson_cf@yahoo.com>; 'christine payne' <paynes.porcelian@btinternet.com>; sfhg@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2015 11:11 AM Subject: RE: [SFHG] Petworth I inspected the Petworth Parish Register yesterday for the burial on 22 Mar 1580/81 WSRO ref: PAR 149/1/1/1.  This burial was for an Umfry DURRANT, not Joane DURRANT. The entry immediately above Umfry's was for a Joane BOWYER on 26 Feb 1580/81.  So, perhaps the transcriber's eye line strayed momentarily and copied the Christian name of Joane from the line above and linked it to the DURRANT burial as well.  It is something that is all too easy to do, especially in these old unruled registers.
