Hi Gillian Have you had a look on IGI website, you might get lucky and find the marriage your after. I searched the bmd records at my local library and most of the pages were un readable for the surname i was after. Goodluck with your search. Julie

No - mine was from West Yorkshire. As you say, maybe some of the records were not transcribed. I have looked in the records at the FRC in London and couldn't find it. I suppose it is possible that errors were made when the big books there were compiled and some were missed?

Julie, The freebmd coverage for marriages c1860 is pretty poor, maybe that's why! G

Hi Gillian Ive had the same problem looking for births 1850 -60 (Manchester), some of the pages are so hard to read that maybe they are missed when being transcribed as there not readable. Its so frustrating. Julie

Hi Gillian - I have also moved heaven and earth to try and find a marriage from 1860. I am beginning to wonder if for some reason some of the records went astray?

Hello All, Does anyone have any ideas where to search for my elusive marriage? The details are: Emma Hart married Francis George Slynn. They were both born Birmingham, Emma 1839 & Francis 1837. According to the 1861 census they were living in Birmingham, both married living with their 7 month old daugther Emma. I have found nothing on 1837online (searched 1858, 1859, 1860 & also 1863/4 before I knew of daughter Emma's existense!). On freebmd there is a Emma Hart marriage to William Santry in 1859 and also a Francis George Slynn marriage in 1898, his second marriage. I've found nothing on familysearch.org. Where do I look next??? Any ideas please, Gillian
