Marriage Index Milton Abbas 1792

[alamar]

HI folks

According to an LDS member on the IGI, Richard VINCENT married Dinah STICKLAND at Milton Abbas on 18 Dec 1792. I cannot check this entry because the 1792 marriages are not available via the internet. Is anyone able to check this for me? I have been burnt by LDS members wishful thinking in the past and now check everything they enter for myself. Thanks

The Dorset OPC site has much useful information if you have ancestors from Dorset

PS With submitted IGI entries, I find they are more likely to be correct if they have an exact date - this tends to mean a register or transcript has been sighted. Where it says abt. 1790 or similar, it is often filling in a blank space with an idea  .

Thanks Trish, Your'e an Angel. Never thought of using the OPC. This family is my first foray into Dorset so I may have to use it more often. Many thanks.

Keep going back to the IGI - it is a work in progress and I have recently found entries for a number of my Dorset folk who weren't there before. Meanwhile the OPC site for Dorset is excellent - my only complaint (very minor) would be that most transcripts are from the BTs. For my families, I'm sure the Bishop received a few errors in his transcripts    Unfortunately, the LDS only seem to have BTs as well, so somehow I need to get to the Dorset Records Office
