Help please with record that has “disappeared”

[Davedrave]

Help please. I think I must be going mad, because yesterday I thought I downloaded an image from Ancestry to my computer. I thought I put it into a folder for renaming (it just downloaded with a long number). Now I can’t find it on my computer, nor on Ancestry.

It was the marriage of JOHN LAIGHT to DIANA BALLINGER in a church in Worcester in the 1830’s, (Diane was baptised in 1810 and they had children from 1835. I even recall seeing a witness, Vale, which ties in with Diane’s mother’s mn. Now I can’t find the record though I confess I haven’t much experience using Ancestry.

Under John LOIGHT 3 May 1833 St Helen, Worcestershire

It is showing on Ancestry - I just went to UK parish records and typed in the name of Diana Ballinger.  Date was 3 May 1833, and you are right as one of the witnesses was Mary Ann Vale.  Groom's name has been transcribed as LOight.

Many thanks. I still have a lot of learning to do to find my way round Ancestry. I don’t find it generally as user-friendly as FindMyPast. Fortunately I’ve also now located the “missing” files on my computer, dropped into the wrong folder.

Thanks for the tip. Hopefully I’ll get the hang of the site.
