Similar situation with possible cross parish indexes for burials.....We assume Ann Spence died between 1829 and 1837, but we don't know where and her age would likely be under 40 and possibly under 30 if she was buried at the beginning of that time frame.

Obviously these last two are completely needle-in-a-haystack jobs if there are no indexes and I suppose the chances of there being indexes are fairly slim!


Have we ruled out this marriage, then? From post #76:

If "Catton near York" means High Catton / Low Catton, then it is right near Stamford Bridge.

No, I don't think we have ruled that one out at all - I was thinking more along the lines of, if there were any cross parish marriage indexes we would have a better understanding of how many possible marriages there might be! In my experience they can be like London buses!!

I have to confess, this earlier exchange made a deep impression on me!

That GENUKI page is quite a compendium, as usual. Thanks. I'm going to have to pick at it and see what help I can find there.
