Default When it isn't on Ancestry....

Sarah Broomfield and William Martin married in Bramley, Surrey 13 August 1761.

The marriage is on Family Search, and I have seen i on the parish microfilm. Unfortunately, it isn't on Ancestry (unless someone knows better?)

Here is the page before:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...1_311920-00321

and here is the next:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...1_311920-00323


Entries 38 - 45 are missing. Matters are complicated by the fact that this is a joint banns and marriages register, so marriages by licence are squeezed into some very odd places.


I assume that the Surrey History Centre is the best place to report the omission?

Hmm

seeing the entries, I tried this:

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...1_311920-00322


And it is there, but not in the same run. Most odd.

Ah, the entries aren't indexed. So, if you know the page should be there, and what the page number should be, you can find the entry.

But the average searcher won't even know that it's missing.

That does say 13 July, not 13 August, for the marriage. Does that explain the issue, Phoenix?

Argh - I forget anything that isn't directly in front of me. My offline tree, family search and the original register say July.

The page is invisible in that it isn't indexed, so cannot be searched or saved to a tree.

Ancestry do skip some pages. I had found something on either FMP or familysearch, can't remember which now, but when I went to find it on ancestry to add to my tree it had missed a page. It went from 10 to 12. I reported it to ancestry as wrong/missing image.
