I have followed a line and found an interesting marriage; it represents the crossing of several families in my tree, and confirms several guesses I've made.
In FreeReg it's
County Norfolk
Place (link for place information) Roydon (Diss)
Church name St Remigius
Register type Parish Register
Register entry number 72
Marriage date 10 Jan 1779
Groom forename Samuel
Groom surname PORTER
Groom parish North Lopham
Bride forename Mary
Bride surname NEWSON
Bride parish Roydon
Witness Rob HOWSON
Witness Robt NEWSON
Register note Licence
So, like a good little genealogist I've used it to find the original PR;
https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https://familysearch.org/recapi/sord/collection/1416598/waypointsThe Diss entry, under Marriages, has a set labelled 1777-1783, which sounds rather promising...
But there are only 6 scans, stopping at 1778, reg no. 18.
Worse, the next marriage register image set offered is 1845-1871, leaving a rather large gap, 1780-1845.
It's clear that FreeReg had access to at least the full 1777-1783 set, since they indexed it.
A few trial searches in FreeReg show marriages 1778-1811, then restarting around 1848
Anyone know more?
