Hi All

Just a thought! If things turn to the worst scenario thinkable ! if one pays by Credit card (Not Debit) you get some protection I think!  :)

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Do not order from this company! I wish I would have seen the BBB post before I sent them my money. I have put a complaint in with the BBB to add to the rest of them. I ordered 3 books from them on November 4 2012. They supposedly sent it to the wrong address first, then I received only one of the three books I ordered on December 24 2012. I have sent multiple e-mails since then with no reply to date.

Consider instead of buying in these books, or looking for copies on www.archive.org or Google Books, looking in a variety of libraries. The Society of Genealogists is a treasure trove of family histories and research notes, pedigrees, birth briefs and documents. Local FHS and local studies libraries will also hold interesting collections.

There's also a lot digitised on Family Search - follow the links to Books and search from there.
