thanks, confused myself yesterday/last year with the Vol/page being the same. Of course it can be. For some reason I got it into my head that the Vol was the Book of pages when it is not the
Quarter is the Book of pages. I had been thinking how can they be on the same page when each row on each page (of each Sub-District of Preston
https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/preston.html) is normally filled in by date as peoople walk through the door, not alphabetically.
the stats are confusing on
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/DistrictInfo.html when viewed by District but by year and quarter clarified things.
Page Ranges
Within each Volume there are pages and a range of page numbers is associated with each district.
We have extracted the page ranges for each volume. Look here for an index by
event type and year, or here for an index by
District.
thus for the Districts of
1856 Sep 8e 1-78 Rochdale
1856 Sep 8e 79-140 Haslingden
1856 Sep 8e other districts
1856 Sep 8e 375-466 Preston
1856 Dec 8e 1-73 Rochdale
1856 Dec 8e 75-132 Haslingden
1856 Dec 8e others
1856 Dec 8e 357-452 Preston
1857 Mar 8e 1-78 Rochdale
1857 Mar 8e 79-146 Haslingden
1857 Mar 8e others
1857 Mar 8e 399-501 Preston
so it is pure co-incidence that a Gibson appears on page 434 6 months apart as you suggest
I still have a gut feeling that the Ellen with mother McMahon is her and just going by FreeBMD without that new info one would just eg order it. Only way to find out would be to £.
