The transcripts are from the Bishops Transcripts,which appear in a book or card index,while the full image details is taken from the actual church register which at Lincoln Archives are on micro film.this is where the extra detail and information comes from.

Julie posted the URL to the Parish Register yesterday. As we said, there is no mention of Elizabeth's status, or Henry's 'senior' or even 'the elder'.
That's what's puzzling us!

There are copies on micro film at Lincoln Archives of Marriage Licences aswell as the PR and BT and all can relate to the same person ,,,,this is where the extra information may have been got.

Mystery solved - the Lincolnshire Marriage Index includes detail from the BTs as well as the registers. I had a speedy reply from the Lincs Family History Society by way of clarification. Thanks to those who contributed to this thread.
