Phil,

Welcome, you've come to the best place there is.

The info. you have been given can be found via http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle where only information extracted from church records is to be found so there's none of the unattributed chaff found when searching via http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

Regards

Chas

Phil,

According to the LDS library catalogue at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=393532&subject_disp=England%2C+Gloucester%2C+Lechlade+%2D+Church+records&columns=*,0,0 and the Lechlade records coming from the Hugh Wallis site, the film is that of the Bishop's transcripts.

It seems odd that the extractors of the baptism info. did not extract the marriage info. too.  You'll find most extracted info. comes from BT's. 

I'm going to an LDS FHC tomorrow and I'll ask why marriages are not always given when BT's are used for baptism extractions.  I do not expect I'll find out why not so do not hold your breath    No answer from me = no joy

Regards

Chas

i cannot find a marriage of joseph/margaret between 1788-1798
it will be interesting to hear what chas finds out about the reason why the marriages do not appear to have been transcribed but the christenings have

hi, I am pretty sure that my William was born in 1805 according to census etc  - but will double check facts.
