Bishop Transcripts - Marriages

[Suzie_Australia]

Hi Peter,

Pity that Betty Daubney isn't around to ask about the family Bible.

I will have a look at the information that you have provided and see how it fits with what I have.  If you can give me a couple of days that would be great, then I will get back to you.

I check my information on Ann, wife of William, also

Cheers,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,
I received this today from OFHS. Some of these sources are new to me and have sent it just in case there are some you might not have seen before:

Just to let you know that, from tomorrow, Friday, 25 August to the end of Monday, 28 August, ie across the English & Welsh bank holiday weekend, Ancestry.co.uk is giving free access to its UK and Ireland records.  This includes censuses and the GRO indexes ... as well as the scanned Oxfordshire parish records which OFHS has licensed to Ancestry.

The Oxfordshire parish register databases are:
Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812
Births and Baptisms, 1813-1915
