Oh, I was assuming that when Elizabeth said she was born in "Mary" that she meant May. I suppose it could also mean March! I remember Mary for May being used as an example of something back in the old FreeBMD transcribing days. Edit - I see in post #5 it is March.

I don't think there was much quality control when the volumes were retyped, and the original volumes, which admittedly were in a pretty parlous state, don't seem to have been kept.

The online indexes, being from the original records submitted, don't duplicate the introduced errors - but do create errors of their own.

I don't think that's the right family, but I also want to know where she is in 1861?!

Ah, this must be them, spelled Reid: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...n&pId=12924924


Just Jane, Ann and baby Isabella. I suppose she could have been born in North Shields but taken back to South Shields to show off to family.
