The 1881 census transcription was done (largely) by family historians and merely co-ordinated by the LDS.

I have made contact with someone who says he found a baptism for a William Brown in 1800 in Berwick on Tweed/Tweedmouth some years ago but can't find it now.
He has date of birth and christening date - which he wrote out at the time, as well as most of the children's christenings. Not the marriage though. So is there a way to see the record he saw some years ago?

Can you post up the full details of the record, please, Julie, and I'll see if I can find it?

Thanks Kite
All he has is the dates not the church unfortunately William Brown born 16 January 1800 christened 3 February. In the 1851 census William says he was born in Tweedmouth, Northumberland. He died before 1861 census. His wife Margaret Newton was born in Berwick on Tweed bc1801/2 through the census's but there is a christening for 1805 in the RC church in Berwick.

Did it not state the parents' names, Julie?

Unfortunately not Kite - he just wrote down the birth & christening dates of William, Margaret and children children.
He says he was glad he'd written it down but he hadn't kept a copy of the record. He gave the 1805 birth for Margaret Newton b 7 Feb 1805 and christened 17 Feb.

Thanks for looking Kite.
Wonder if I order in the films to the FHC the record will be there - if only I knew the parish

As a matter of interest I've been doing a lot of Warwickshire research recently, as Ancestry's put the PRs for most of Warwickshire online.
However, although Ancestry's transcribers are presumably paid, and the LDS ones are volunteers, I'm finding the FamilySearch transcriptions far better than Ancestry's for the Warwickshire parishes I'm interested in. FS doesn't have the images, unfortunately, so I often have to search FS first, then trawl for the image on Ancestry (and correct their transcription). |
