Hi Jeanette

This is very bizarre - I've looked at the records of the Chapel Royal, St
James' for the whole of the period 1700-1756 and the marriage doesn't appear
in those records at all.

There is only one person called MARTIN in the records and that is a Jean
MARTIN, brewer and there are no LEFORT names nor anything like it in the
records.

Boyd's marriage register isn't foolproof I'm afraid and if the LDS have
pulled their usual trick and just copied everything from Boyd across to
Family Search, they would just be compounding the error.

Elizabeth Martin, right period and the like does appear several times in the
other QS registers though and I think that I've found her baptism.

Sorry!

Tony Fuller
