Hi

There is this one from the igi
Thomas Brown and Hannah Timpson
11th October 1798 at Dean

Ann is a shortened version of Hannah

apparently the igi gives complete coverage for Bedfordshire  ???

Rosie is right - Beds pre 1813 is virtually complete on the IGI, bar a couple of parishes, so it's pretty easy to research Beds yourself using the IGI

The parish is Dean, made up of Upper and Nether Dean

David - if it's an easy answer which parishes doesn't it cover in Bedfordshire (I might find my Woolston's there  ::)  )

Rosie, If you use the Hugh Wallis site you can search the IGI by batch numbers by selecting parish you require. Therefore if it's not listed then it's not included. For example Keysoe & Ravensden are not included

........... it says ADOBE upper dean BDF.......

There's not many houses made of sun-dried bricks made of clay and straw in upper dean as far as I know !

Ravensden and Everton plus Keysoe baptisms, are the ones that spring to mind. But Keysoe and Ravensden are on the BVRI CDrom set, which I know you've got. I've got the Everton transcript, and guess what!!! ..........no Woolstons.

Ravensden is now on the IGI, baptisms C148781 & marriages M148781.
Keysoe baptisms also, J148811 & K148811, marriages M148811 & M148813.
I don't know about Everton.

Thanks Steven. I'd forgotten that the Hugh Wallis site hasn't been updated for years!

Thank you everyone, I didn't mean to highjack this thread  ::)

JohnP - I'm not that good on Bedfordshire parishes, I just wondered if I was missing an obvious one

Steven - Thanks for that info, I'll have another IGI blitz.

David - Yes I do have the disc set though I have 'killed' disc 15.  Thanks for looking in Everton.

Thank you all for your input. Will have to look at Woolstons again and do my own post.  ;D
