Puzzle in Wakefield (record hunter-sleuths please)
« on: Friday 01 January 16 20:46 GMT (UK) »
I have two ancestors I believe were married in Wakefield in the 1660s.

FamilySearch says 6 Feb 1665 ("England Marriages, 1538–1973 ," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NLDT-HYG : accessed 1 January 2016), Robert Nolson and Mary Carre, 06 Feb 1665; citing All Saints,Wakefield,York,England, reference ; FHL microfilm 98,547.): Robert Nolson and Mary Carre.

FindMyPast also says 6 Feb 1665 at http://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=r_860334306

FindMyPast also says 1666 at http://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbprs%2fm%2f754031315%2f2 (different record set).

Problem is I cannot find the original record on the images via FindMyPast. I'm no expert but I have checked either side. I'm either going blind or the transcriptions are wrong.

Please can someone locate so I can get an image?

Doesn't FamilySearch say that there isn't an image and FindMyPast only gives a transcription as well? How are you trying to find images?

I'm looking at the PRs on FindMyPast. There is no link but you can get into the registers in other ways. But at the expected dates there is no entry.

I would suggest that the difference in the transcribed dates are due to the Gregorian Calendar introduced in 1752.  Until then the New Year began on the 1st April.

The marriage was at Wakefield and therefore a West Yorkshire Archive.   An image of the record is on Ancestry not FindMyPast.  Marriage was 6 Feb 1665.

Many thanks indeed.

Is that 1664/5 or 1665/6?

1665/6

In our modern world it would have been recorded as 1666
