Is the set you have transcribed or from the original .
I brought Cheddington at the weekend from BFHS and it lists Thomas Seabrook died accidental drowning......the PR written version has him SHOT accidently!
As I think I said, I've borrowed a transcription from Bucks FHS - a lot of them are marked as from the Bishops Transcripts, which could account for some of the differences.
I suppose any transcription is only going to be as good as it's transcriber - and we're all human!
I also have Fawley marriages out at the moment - and a marriage that I was given in a name search by Bucks FHS a while ago is not in the transcription that I've just borrowed from them!
I know the only sure way is to see the originals or fiche copies of them, but it's all but impossible when you live 100s of miles away!
By the way, I'm happy to look anything else up for you both whilst I've still got them. Jill

Yes I have seen minor differences with PR to BT for some. Shame I haven't got any of mine in Boarstall. Drax is doing a search on all spellings of Elkerton which is where we cross but mine are all Beds.
Hi jillruss Have you still got the fiches for Boarstall? I am looking for a wedding between John Thomas Gibbens and a Mary Unknown from Boarstall she was born about 1808 The wedding was pre 1837.
any help you could give would be wonderful
Thanks in advance David

Yes, still got them - but only just! I'm posting them back tomorrow.
However, they only go up to 1811/12 so, unfortunately, the marriage will not be covered.
No sign of a baptism for John Thomas Gibbens in the years leading up to 1811.
It's probably not much help, but looking at a couple of years either side of 1808 when you think Mary was born, there are the following baptisms in Boarstall for a Mary:
1806/7 Mar 15 Maryann Parker d/o John & Hanna 1807 Nov 15 Mary Hopcraft d/o Richard & Ann 1810 Jun 11 Mary May d/o Robert & Eliz. 1811 Jun 9 Mary Jackman d/o Wm. & Sarah
Hopefully, one of the above will turn out to be your Mary.

Many thanks for taking the time to look for me, as you say hopfully one of those Marys will turn out to be the one. It was mainly the wedding I was hoping for, still never mind A
Cheers David
