Dijon,

There are many Heavens at Frocester in the HW site - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyGloucester_(A-M).htm#F   always use this site for IGI searches - the entries are acceptably reliable extractionwise although some which were there originally may have been deleted.  But that's another story..

Dijon,

You were given the batch number 1040739 in an earlier posting, in fact the number 1 should be the letter I and it contains 748 entries so that alone may give a little confidence.

Batch number prefixes are explained at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm   those with the prefix I are submitted and may indeed have been copied from church records.  The LDS use a different search engine in their interrogation of the IGI and that may give info. to which we are not privy. 

Perhaps checking a random sample of names in the church records at Bristol R.O. (?) might establish the probability of the batch being copied from church records,  because it seems that I batches are not put through the usual LDS double extraction procedure.

The batch number is not in my list in resources (q.v.) so I will add it and post a message about it.

Regards

Chas
