Many thanks to Hugh Wallis for the work done to assist all in the search
for our families.
Well done!
After experimenting with the site I see that one is able to insert only the
Batch # eg. M116151,
marriages Stevenston without using a surname at all and it will bring up ALL
marriages within that batch in alphabetical order.
This is a wonderful help for those surnames that have multiple spelling and
or errors that occur during the transcription of the records.
Much appreciation from this researcher for the work involved to produce this
site.
With Kind Regards;
Linda....
