<<< I have relied heavily on the IGI for most of the pre-1800 ancestry, but am fairly confident of accuracy>>>> Hello Researchers. A word of caution. Always check the original whenever you can! The main problem with using the IGI alone is that you miss any burials. If you have the NBI and it covers the years you need, you may be able to confirm that people did not die as infants- that is if the age at burial was recorded. This is one of the reasons I am concentrating on the Burial records for FreeREG (when I get time) However, nothing beats trawling the PRs films- you get much more insight into the records. For example , you may come across a "dodgy" surname and realise that the person who wrote up the registers at this time period was barely literate and doing his best! ( I have seen marriage records where the couple had signed their names but the clerk had mis-spelt them - He also had atrocious writing). You may note a change of Incumbent - so realise why half a dozen children from one family are suddenly herded into church to be baptised on the same day ! You may note that name of a witness to a marriage that has puzzled you for ages was actually the churchwarden and witnessed a few dozen more marriages and is no relation to your lines at all! I must say that the IGI records from the "controlled extractions" are really very good, but I have found errors in them probably due to difficult handwriting -or faded pages . Any index will contain errors - some due to how the person has interpreted the original , others from typos and human error. ( It is interesting to note how a porrly written census record may be interpreted in several ways by different people- and who is to say at this stage which version is correct?) I rarely look at "Patron Submissions" or LDS member's contributions. on the IGI. Many of these seem to verge on fantasy. One trap for the unwary is to use the IGI as though it is a complete Index. Warwickshire is well covered for certain years but there are many gaps and omissions. You really should not add a name to your tree solely from the records found in the IGI without verification or evidence that Mr X from 40 miles away is your chap, based solely on finding a name and age that look right! Always check the original whenever you can! Good hunting Wendy Warwickshire FreeREG & 1841 & 1861 FreeCEN Coord www.hunimex.com/warwick

Robert, Ancestry's version of the full GRO Index does show the marriage of a William HOLDEN and a Lucy BENTLEY in the December qtr 1864 at Saddleworth reg district, volume 9a, page 375 as well as in their FreeBMD version. There is also the marriage of a Sarah HOLDEN in the same qtr at Saddleworth, same vol no and page 369. Have you obtained the marriage certificate of your John Thomas HOLDEN and if so what occupation does it show for his father William. This might make it easier to trace your John in earlier census records and clarify both his age and place of birth.

Can someone give me the address please for research for Coventry,thank you. I have only the names and Coventry to go by.This is in 1926,would anyone think it could be possible to find them with only this information. Thank you.Maggie.

Hi, Would some SKS be going to the WRO or Coventry Library that could look up 2 records for me please? I'm looking for witnesses to the Marriage of William Dumbleton to Sarah Douse 1831 in Stivichal Warwickshire, and I'm looking for any info on a Thomas Hammond born 1790 Barston- mother Sarah Hammond. I'm looking to see if it says she was from OTP or he was illigimate. I cannot find a suitable Sarah Hammond around the period or area so I'm assuming she either came from somewhere else or she was a widow who didn't give the fathers name. There is a Joseph and Sarah Hammond marriage in Coventry in 1781 and 1788 who could be the parents and possibly Joseph died prior to Thomas' birth. Any help would be appreciated as I'm in the USA.

Hello list I will be visiting my daughter in England in September and would like to look at the parish records for Nuneaton where my Petty ancestors were christened and married. Is there a local record office or library at Nuneaton where I can view the records? Or do I need to go to Warwick? Margot Crestani

Hello Margo and List Yes, it is 11th September for next research meeting of NNWFHS. In addition, there is a CD available to purchase with burials in the municipal cemeteries. Go to www.nnwfhs.org.uk and click on publications. The list of CD contents is at end of that page. You are welcome to come along on 11th September. The library holds a good range of local PRs on microfilm. You can use these any day at Nuneaton Library, and at the research evenings. If you come, enter via the side door at the library (stand at front facing main entrance, walk down the LEFT hand side; go in through first door and ring the bell). By all means ask for me and I will introduce you.

The amusing bit first: John Thomas Holden seems to have adjusted his age to suit the current circumstances. he joins the Kings Royal Rifles in 1892 aged 18 years and 10 months i.e. born about 1873 and born in B'ham. Prior to this he served in the 3d Battalion Royal Warwicks which apparently was a kind of national service battalion i.e.compulsory back up for the regular army. In the 1911 census he is 31 i.e born1880. On being called up in 1914 he is 29 and 8 months which fits the 1873/4 date. On marrying in 1914, he states his age to be 30 i.e.born 1884. Was he just a rascal? However, JTH is not born in B'ham between 1873 and 1884 it would seem although he twice indicated he was born in Birmingham on his army papers. Then again, having discovered the names of his parents, a look up in the usual GRO register indicates no marriage of his parents William Holden and a Lucy at all , while Freebmd does show a marriage in Saddleworth in 1864 Dec So how reliable of GRO records?
