Title: Birmingham Marriage Look Up - FIELD
Post by: paganlynny on Monday 02 June 08 09:57 BST (UK)

I am looking for some help here with a marriage of William Field/Sarah Ann (nee Bourne) in Birmingham in 1848. With a possible IGI transcription error i'm not sure if this is a Kings Norton or Kings Lynn marriage. Residence in 1853 was Sherborne Street, Birmingham. Any info appreciated.

Hi Lyn,

Looking at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com it looks like a transcription error as Sarah Ann Bourne is shown as Kings Norton but William Field as Kings Lynn.

Sarah Ann Bourne  Mar 1848  Kings Norton    18  415

There is a query on William Field to show a possible mis-transcription.

The actual images show William as King's Norton and Sarah as Kings Lynn but with the same vol. & page numbers 18 415 so it must be a transcription error

The actual volume numbers are
Kings Lynn,XIII
Kings Norton,XVIII

so 18 would mean Kings Norton
