There should be plenty of records, but you need to know where in Italy (or even Slovenia or Croatia if the family was from Istria). Records are held locally but can be extremely detailed (covering a whole family).

If you go here http://gens.labo.net and type Sartor in the Cognome field and click on the red arrow, you'll see a map of where the name is distributed today.

Where are you both looking in Ukraine?

"Lockerby" does not look possible in Ukrainian. Do you know roughly where in Ukraine? One key point is whether the place of origin was in that part of today's Ukraine which was in Poland (known as Galicia or Halychyna) between the two world wars, or that part to the east of this.

It's also useful to know the religion -- was the family Greek Catholic (Uniate) or Russian Orthodox?

Poor transcription by who? I assume you mean The A Word!

It's correctly transcribed by Find My Past and by Origins.

Find My Past has those too.

Marriages will not be available, as the General Register Office has changed its policy on selling data.

The best place to look for yourself would be on TNA website -- see their helpful Research Guide 90 at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=128

The Common Room / Re: National Burial index

I don't believe that it's true that Family History Online's version of the NBI is the "most complete". What is true is that the version on CD (currently at 2nd edition) has different coverage to that on Family History Online, which in turn is different to that on Find My Past. Records on the CD are not on the FHO version and vice versa; ditto, I think, FHO and Find My Past. The coverage on Find My Past is at http://www.findmypast.com/national-burial-index-coverage-counties.action -- the Kettering burials are on Find My Past so if you've got a subscription you may as well look there rather than paying on FHO.

The Federation of Family History Societies intends to release a 3rd edition of the CD version sometime -- http://www.ffhs.org.uk/projects/nbi/nbi-overview.php
