Yes, it's useful but no more useful than Family Search, and you have to pay for it, before you see the records.  I did a search some time ago for the Archbell name,  and it came up with 24 entries for the East Riding, and I paid for them.  I then had to pay again for the West Riding ones.

When the list came up they were all the same names that I had extracted from the IGI, and gave no more information than is available there.  So be careful!!

Hi Though all marriage, Birth/ Bapts and Deaths are welcome sources . Some do charge within most researches means! The best way after using this great website is the local studies libraries mostly free for a limited 1/2 hour look up with good info given too them by the researcher and lots on computers, also in books index! so they can find them fast. Then most 'Family history societies' give computer look ups and book transcrition index with out expence of membership. Yet like anything money talks.** The number of people who will not buy Certificates! but will expect other people to go to libraries to look up! at the own expence amazes me**, also they are the ones who will email back arguing or complaining about how a poor quaulity these copies of parish registers  are  yet ! free to them at others expence and  goodwill.

Hi Dobfarm:  I quite agree that the charge for Joiners is quite small, but my main point was that the information was almost exactly the same as the IGI entries, for the marriages I looked at.  Since then I have checked the entries in the parish registers themselves and in the majority of the cases there was more information to be had.  I suppose I was querying where Paul Joiner had gleaned his information, and then decided to charge for it!  There is absolutely no substitute for looking at the registers for yourself, but not all of us live in the area we are researching.  I live in Staffordshire, but the majority of my research is in Yorkshire.  Whilst I rely quite heavily for the initial searches on the internet, I do have long lists of confirmations to be made on the occasions when I can get into Yorkshire, together with a list of parish record films to be hired from my local LDS centre.

Hi Bumble B

I just payed £4 for a marriage look up with BMSGH Warwick/Birmingham. 100% success. This marriage was nowhere (Been looking years) in any websites and even Nunearon FHS could not find it in Merevale in War/hire. It was a last desperate hope! as it was main line GGGGddad stuff and ment a lot. So As above post. We are opposites and paths must cross! as I'm in Huddersfield Yorkshire and my family research is Warwickshire Staffordshire and Derbyshire Mums side.

IGI is great for primary but can't rely on as there are lots of names not in the IGI, Thus only by original register of the parishs of all denomination checked too be sure, more on pre 1841c-1837 start.

What part of yorkshire are your ancestors ?. I'm looking Lichfield Staffs. Just now! can we help each other.

Hi Dob:  I'm sure we can help each other.  If you want to send me a PM with your Lichfield queries, I'll see what I can do.  I only live in Tamworth, and am on "seven-day weekends" so it's not a problem.  Also my local LDS Centre is in Lichfield so I go there at least once a week!

My lot are West Riding - Tadcaster to Halifax and surrounds.

Hi Bumbleb

I'll send you a Pm and Email address.

Funny thing though! I was talking to Revmother2 on this website and she made a great long sorted find! my reply was 'The Lord as answered'. On the news of better weather and at 3am set off for Warwick records office last tuesday got home at 10 pm Naf! 330 mile round trip.  I went on roots web with this in mind!! to find someone to swap area look ups! with no success, then just browsing round found! your marriage reply post. I had no idea you came from there or had Yorkshire ancestors.
Expect Pm soon with my  couple of look ups tomorrow.
Send yours Pm
