My kind of place

As Indaloman says these are done by volunteers, when I was speaking to one she said that when marriages are done the man might be there but not necessarily the woman and vice versa , it depends how the batches were transcribed.

Thanks for all the input, friends. Sorry about any delay in replying, but I have just arrived home. These are the facts:
Edward Artus married Mary Ann .....? at Gloucester in 1850, Oct. - Dec. quarter, vol. 11, page 512. If I put in Mary Ann with these details, I get 3 results returned: Mary Ann Collingburn, Mary Ann Cresswell and Mary Ann Waterson, all on page 512, vol. 11.
If I put the spouse's name (Artus) in, then there are no results.
Hope you can help.

FreeBMD offers the choice of entering the spouse's name in the search because the indexes for marriages after 1911 or 1912 - can't remember offhand - do show the spouse's surname.
Up until that year, entering the spouse name in the search won't help: you can only see all the names of the people whose marriages are entered on that particular page of the original register. So in 1850 you see the names of four couples, but there is no way from that to tell who married who. You are rather unlucky to find three Mary Anns all on the same page.
So, either you try to find the marriage on the parish register - sometime the IGI can help you out here - or you send for the certificate, entering only Edward's name on the form.
