Sorry Sue but theres no quick fix!

You have to look at the full marriage index...year by year and quarter by quarter....

A bit time consuming but well worth it when you find it.

Sue, as it is not transcribed that late on FreeBMD, tthe complete index will have to be searched quarter by quarter, year by year.

Nothing in 1945/6/7....

Thanks but why does it start showing me marriages in 1800 and in different counties surely it should narrow it down if you put a year in and county ?

MrsBucketBouquet Report 12 Sep 2008 21:41

Because it hasnt been fully transcribed yet

MrsBucketBouquet

MrsBucketBouquet Report 12 Sep 2008 21:42

Nothing in 1948.....or 49....

Sue, you are probably looking at the transcribed records not the complete index. You cannot enter a county in the complete index.
