Buckinghamshire Marriages on Find My Past
« on: Thursday 17 August 17 23:48 BST (UK) »
The long awaited Buckinghamshire PRs are at last online - BUT ....

All the marriages I have so far checked have the groom's surname and the bride's identical.

The banns are OK.

So beware.

I've just looked at the years covered.  Some are 60 to 140 years short of what's available. ::)

I'll not bother. :(

I won't be subscribing to them, until all the little problems are ironed out, and the full extent of the years are available.
What's the point in paying for something, that's not quite there yet.

I hope their subscribers check the coverage, and the years, before signing up and paying for something that does not exist.....yet.

It's fine if they already susbcribe to the site.

As you can tell by my username, I am interested......but not yet. ;D

They seem to be far from complete and many are BTs, why didn't they use the pr?

Sometimes BT's are all that's available, due to the Parish Registers being lost, damaged or burnt, over the centuries.  Especially during the Commonwealth period.

I find similar with many of Find My Past's records - they "promise" more than they deliver.

Maybe I've just been unlucky but I very seldom find what I am looking for on FindMyPast. Others seem reasonably happy though ....
