Hi Amber 

My thinking was: there are too many people on that one reference - there should only be 8.  Someone doesn't belong there and since there are 5 women listed it must be one of the 5 brides. ie: Is it Margaret?

And this begs the question, is there a William SOLEN (or variant or mangling of) on a FREEBMD page that is missing a bride...around the same time?

Yes, of course, at the end of the day a bride and groom who marry each other must be referenced the same. However, FREEBMD is an incomplete transcribing project, and despite careful checking and data entry (often by 2 different transcribers) errors do creep in.  Or sometimes, unreadable images cause the transcriber to be unable to fully decipher the vol & pg number reference (or a name). I have in the past found Brides and Grooms who definitely married each other, listed on FREEBMD with different references, where one of them is wrong.

This could be because :
the volume number is entered incorrectly (causing the event to be listed under the wrong registration district
the page number is entered incorrectly
The page number or volume being wholly or partially unreadable.
The Qtr and or year have been incorrectly entered into FREEBMD. Less common, but can happen!
The Original image itself records the wrong ref. nrs - again, that index is a transcription in itself, and human error could also occur at that stage!

For example a man may be listed as 8b 437.
His bride may be listed as 3b 437, or 8b 487, or 8b 4[_]7  - so she won't come up "with him".

With a rather unusual name like Margaret BOUCHARD, I would definitely be interested in any who come up in or around the right area in or around the right time.  So unless, you have managed tie that Margaret in 1850 to one of the 4 men on the same page ...she could still be yours?

Cheers

Hi again Ambly,  I understand what you are saying but wouldn't our searching be a waste of time if we linked ourselves with anyone who had the right name, place and date regardless of reference number.  I don't feel happy to do that.  I can understand that sometimes a name gets spelt wrong(i have actually changed spelling on one of my family tree lines on the actual record) but for marriages, I am not sure I could link one to another if the references didn't match.


Regards

Amber -  can't give a Smiley.  Tell me how to attach them lol

Welaome to RootschaT Amberglow.

In the various census that you have traced William Solen, has his name always been transcribed 'Solen"?
If you could post the census details it may help those helping you.

Hi Joy,  Just replying to everyone, I didn't know how to do it before now!!.  On the 1861, 1881 and 1891 Census's it is always SOLEN, which is the correct name.  On the 1871 Census the family come up as SOAN, which is incorrect. These are the only Census's I have.  I can't find them on any other.
