Well I now know that the signatures of Thomas Harris in the two marriages do not look remotely alike. So as I've long suspected, there's only one Elizabeth. Just need to work out who she is now.

That's a good start.... so far I have....
Andrew Smith probably did marry Ann ? in Burford during the gap in their register, 1654-1657, as I don't see the marriage anywhere else. Moses Smith was apparently buried four months after he died in 1802!! Though there is a marriage bond for my 5xg-grandparents, William Smith and Mary Wyatt, dated 1743 they don't seem to have a marriage record anywhere (should be Burford or Witney). And I spent an age clicking refresh to get the baptism of my 4xg-grandfather to appear, only to find I'd typed the wrong year, so am having another try! lol

I'm going to need a new F5 key at this rate.
Also some of the original marriage registers seem to be in the wrong place at the moment - in with the composite registers, instead of the 1754 onwards database. |

I'm going to have to slow down as I'm finding so much I can't take it all in! (this is now I've moved away from actual brick walls)

I have noticed that when ancestry launches a new database, there are usually a few error messages at first, so hopefully those will go away after a day or two. I will put a thread on the News board in a minute. |

Just looking at my gggg grandparents marriage at St Mary, Witney. It's in a separate book dated 1802-1812 and the signatures are original, so not the BTs. They're definitely in the wrong database compared say to the Gloucestershire marriages.
Not that I'm complaining - I'm just happy they're finally online and the odd glitch before they official launch is to be expected. Time to update my "two Elizabeths" thread and fix the mistake in my tree !! |

I've found a baptism noted as a burial, and marriages in the wrong database, but as long as I can find them, I don't care!

I just love the burial entry for my ancestor Edmund Armesby (incorrectly transcribed):
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/61...nSearchResults It's at the bottom of the left-hand page. They are claiming he was about 110! He died in 1628/29, and he was fathering children in the 1590s, so I wouldn't have thought so! |
