I feel I could answer this if I understood exactly what you are asking!

Each reg district begins with page one in each Q for each year for Births, Marriages or Deaths......

If it's marriages you want to place, there's this:

13 is Norfolk - up to about 1851. Is that what you mean?

So, volume number, not page number?

I wanted to browse a few pages in certain areas in 1850 - 1857 but I don't think it is possible and even if it was it wouldn't be practical or feasible that I could or that I would find what I need.

Basically I lose my grt grt grandmother's older sister after 1861, on that census she is Sarah E Palmer with two children Louisa Jane Palmer born 1852 and Emma Anne Palmer born 1857 I know it is Sarah because her brother Walter Wingfield is with them. Sarah is a widow.

https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...=try&h=5589897

I have always thought this was Sarah but I can't be sure right name right age right birth place with a son Thomas William born Bethnal Green. There is a SW Workman but I am sure that is a mistake, different house. Sarah says married.

https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...71&usePUB=true

I haven't found Louisa's birth record but I found her death and it is her I bought the cert, in looking for Louisa under both Palmer and Wingfield I found a Emma Palmer Wingfield, couldn't be a coincidence, born 1850 sent for cert and it is Sarah's daughter no father given but the Palmer is a giveaway.

So I looked for Emma Anne's and I got the cert and it gives Frederick Palmer 2nd Mate Merchant Service which is all I know about him, registered by Sarah I assume she is on her own but married because she didn't lie on the first Emma's birth as being married.

I have searched high and low for a marriage but can't find one or Sarah anywhere after 1861.

Edit to say she probably died but then I can't find Emma Anne I did find a 1871 census with a Emma Anne on servant but she is twenty, no marriage found I must admit didn't look for a death for either yet. I suppose Sarah probably lied about being married on Emma Anne's birth record.

ANOTHER EDIT: Frederick Palmer is 2nd Mate Merchant Service, Service being passenger ships I think rather than Navy.

I've looked at all Louisa Janes, born 1851-1853 Shoreditch and could not find any with Wingfield as maiden name (or Palmer)

The internet is playing up here and I can't access Ancestry or any other FH site.

Have you looked for Thomas William's birth cert and mmn?

You can't browse pages for certain areas, unfortunately, because the GRO mixes all registration districts together and indexes by name. But you can specify county and / or registration district when searching on FreeBMD.

I found this which I thought was a bit weird:


https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...98&usePUB=true

Name: Thomas William Palmer Palmer
Registration Year: 1846
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration district: Bethnal Green
FVolume: 2
Page: 54

No maiden name and Palmer twice! Although Sarah is not married then.

I did look under Wingfield but I will look again.

Edit: nothing under Wingfield without a maiden name 2 years either side of 1846.
