Link: Lancashire Births, Marriages and Deaths

[Swift5]

Does anyone know how the transcribing for Burnley is progressing?  A friend of mine is trying to find the marriage of a relative there.

Having just joined  the system I would appreciate help in the following; I logged on to BMD filled in all the details but the system wiuld not accept the query without disabling my anti virus and fire wall not being too technically orientated I am afraid if I turn them off I may make a mistake in re engaging the programmes. Any simple solutions please.

Hiya,

The instructions on freeBMD show how to disable the firewall settings JUST for the freeBMD site - in a way it's setting it up to make freeBMD a "trusted" site. Don't turn off your firewall or anti-virus program.

Thank you for your help I was afraid that I may disturb the settings otherwise
Once again Thank you

All these BMD sites have been started recently and they rely on volunteers within the townsand villages to transcribe the registers.  Some areas are covered better than others and it is updated every 4 weeks or so.

Eventually all Births, Marriages and Deaths will be entered.

So for now we shall just have to patient.

Hi everybody

I've just joined this list, but I do wonder at the above statement!  I live in Australia and I'm a transcriber for Cheshire BMD, so I don't actually live in a 'town/village'.  Is it possible to transscribe for the Manchester area, (where all my ancestors lived for donkey's years) while living 12,000 miles away.  If so, could somebody tell me who I need to contact please?

Hi

Wondering if sks would be able to help me as the Lancanshire BM's start at 1837 and I am looking for the marriage of John Howell to a Sarah Ann ?[ need to find out her maiden name] in approximately 1835/36, I would take a guess that they were married in the same church as their children were christened that being Cathedral, Manchester. Any assistance would be greatfully accepted.

thanks

If the children were born after 1837 then you can send for the birth certificate. This will give you the mother's maiden name which will then allow you to look for the marriage of the parents.
