Family History Beginners Board / Re: Do I have an image of George Blow's original death cert.? Views on correction?

I favour BNA although FindMyPast's fairly recently introduced Advanced Search was a move in the right direction with it's "phrase flexibility"
As for using the "*" why not search for Thomas Borrill on BNA and then search for Thomas Borr*ll - see the difference. FindMyPast seems happy with "*" in search but not BNA?
I'd spotted several articles re.Thomas Borrill other than his being brought to court to provide Mary Ann with 2 bob a week - interesting!
As for searching "less is more" as they say - eg. to allow for OCR misreads. But Thomas is so common.

These are the schedules to the 1836 bill proposing registration of births, deaths and marriages 1837. The formats appear correct but there seems to be some confusion in filling in the details!

Had you spotted this newspaper snippet that appears to be your Mary Ann Blow. On the 1851 Census there is a Mary Ann Blow in the employ of Thomas and Ann Boswell (as transcribed) in Willoughton. The original is not at all clear. There is a coulpe in 1841 that could be them under Borrill.

The Common Room / Re: baptised twice in the same quarter? help!
« on: Thursday 16 May 24 09:19 BST (UK)  »
There's a baptism marked "PB" recorded Sept 1845 - which pre dates the Minister that baptised Jane Hannah taking office.
Checked baptisms up to Dec 1849 and no "PBs" recorded in the register with that officiating minister still in office - unusual.

"PBs" and how they were recorded vary with ministers and also the recording of any subsequent "receiving" - which was not a baptism.

United States of America / Re: Julian de Ovies and Eleanor, nee Cassidy

There's more newspaper stuff out there about Julian than you can shake a stick at - but the bulk relates to specific years eg 1906 and 1910.
I've seen reference in the papers to his 1891 marriage thru' Blanca's 1927 death - they married in Spain. Any confirmation of this?
