Bedfordshire Completed Look ups / Christmas Present Advice
« on: Friday 09 December 16 23:00 GMT (UK)  »
I have asked for a disc or discs from my son for Christmas this year and I would like some advice as to which ones would be the best to start with. I have seen several posts on here regarding the index of names in Bedfordshire. Does this  cover the whole of the county and what information is on it?  Are things like dates and places included or is it just literally a list of names?

 One of the local families I am interested in is Albone/Albon from Arlesey and I do have a reasonable amount of information about them so should I start with the Arlesey parish records on the basis that I might be able to join the dots better, or go with another parish where I know less about the other side of the family?

With the above in mind I don't know where my Albones came from in the first place so if any one has Silvanus and Caroline, James and Ann Charles, and Joseph and Susanah Hall along with various Thomas' and Abrahams in their tree and you know where the first Albone in that line came from I will know which other parish  disc to buy.

Thanks for any advice or information you can offer.

Bedfordshire / Brothers marrying sisters
« on: Tuesday 06 September 16 17:50 BST (UK)  »
I am sure some of you have come across two sisters marrying two brothers. I have this on my grandfathers maternal side of the family. As I worked on his mothers side, I already knew a bit  about them, I entered them on my tree. First his grand mother etc working on her maternal line and her aunts etc. Then I worked on her paternal line separately. Then I got some 'hints' and they fitted well.
It was only when I was showing the whole tree to my son I realised I had 'duplicated' my GGG aunt Sarah Mabbot and looked at her to merge them and realised the spouse names were different and she had married her sisters brother inlaw. Now I have her showing as two seperate people in different lines. Is this ok or should I merge her and If I do will I muddle up the in-law relationships.
Am I overthinking this.

Bedfordshire / Searchin Free BMD
« on: Thursday 19 March 15 23:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
Not only am I new to this site I am new, or fairly new, to researching the family history anyway. I have been reading a lot of old posts on here and find them fascinating even when they are not names in my own search. I've also poked about on some of the sites so helpfully recommended by the folks on here. FreeBMD has been mentioned so I tried putting a name in, Albone from Arlesey and it tells me I can't search by district and county. I tried to put Biggleswade but got the same message. I tried Bedfordshire...same message. I am not highlighting both so where am I going wrong please?
How do I get rid of either the district or county?
I suspect I am being really dim.
