Hi All. ....For those of us who use Ancestry.

They have now fully transcribed the marriage index from 1916 to 2005......... This went live yesterday.

Hi Rose,
Ironically. The previous day, I spent a couple of hrs ploughing in vain through the index for a marriage............If only I waited 24hrs. lol

:o))

awww lol, well I only found out by accident when I went to do a look up for someone and couldn't see the usual 'quarters' layout...I think Ancestry sneaked it on so we wouldn't all rush on at once and crash the system :)

I have just added to a thread on Tips the fact that Ancestry have added a note to the marriage index saying the marriage index is having problems but they hope to resolve it within 24 Hours

Dominy & Croom in Dorset, Rutherford & McElhatton in Northumberland. Dendy and Thorp
