Thankyou Rena and Jap,
yes there is a big involvement with the lib's, prodomenantly we are working with LEAR and WARD within Gloucester regions, LEAR was a name spread throughout there but few of the families seem to be connected, we have collected near 1000 names of LEAR including the married names and branches but still have not found with confidence parents for either John LEAR or wife Jane WARD, but have the cert for marriage by banns for them, we have found the dates of birth and christenings for all thier children but nothing going back. Perhaps the 1607 tzunami destroyed many records of families of the coastal areas and the families moved inland,
 who know's?

...  I haven't yet discovered why some church records only seem to have girls and no boys recorded ... 

Hi Rena,

That early Bitton batch (P016651) is, of course, not a girls only batch.

However, in relation to batches where only the girls have been extracted into the online IGI (though the boys are certainly in the films of the original records), nobody has been able to elicit from the LDS why this has happened.  Despite many attempts to find out.

Probably the most recent discussion on RootsChat of 'girls only' batches is at:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,350084.60.html
It comprises some 'thread drift' between replies #47-#54 (on page 4 of that thread).

Regards,

JAP
