Colsterworth is one of the places that you can browse images of the C/M/B registers on the new Lincs site Ann posted about.

EDIT - Sorry Rosie looks like I made a mistake, that or they were there last week & aren't now I'm sure I did see them as they came up in one of my searches, I remember thinking i've added to a thread on here about that place! Went off to see if I could post a link to them on here but none of the results link to images. Hopefully they'll be added as the site grows.

They are there - I have just seen the marriage -

Elizabeth Harris and John Kelly married by Licence - so it is worth contacting the record office to see if the details survive.

Oh well done Elizabeth!

I thought I was managing OK with using the site, I know a few people had posted they weren't, i'm obviously not managing as good as I thought lol

JayG, this is the first time I have found anything with any success.

OH has a large branch of his family from Lincolnshire so if I can learn to navigate this site it will be useful.

It's not the easiest to use. I found the marriage because I knew the year, otherwise you would have to browse as you don't know which page to go to.

I managed to find the images by searching Colsterworth Harris, although it would be more beneficial if the results linked to the actual images rather than just the first page of the register.

Ooh scrap that, if you do an advanced search & select images on results format they do take you to the images!

I've search Colsterworth Harris & got 83 image results.

Two of my main lines come from Lincolnshire, i'm off to play somemore on my names

Thanks for that link. I'd tried the site but not managed to make it work either. Must remember to do advanced searches when on there.

Was also going to ask how I might find out about the licence but now I know I must ring the RO.

Still working on the info for this couple

managed to make the advanced search work. it's just like viewing the images on a microfishe lol. Although the Lincs to the past logo does get in the way on the poorly written baptisms
