Thanks, Anne.

hi Ozi I have found out which site gives you batch numbers they call it Hugh Wallis site they give you information from the I.G.I transcripts. I have come to the conclusion that he must have been names james Wilkinson Driver. Anne

This is the "old" site:

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

Hi Janet which site do I go on I have been on once but have lost the website Anne

Yes, you're right. They have tended to throw out the great stuff about that site. It was very user friendly.

Ozi

I just went onto the new www.familysearch.org and chose to go onto the 'previous site' as I found it easier to navigate-jle

Janet, which site are you talking about when referring to using batch numbers? I know how to use them on the old site.

Ozi

Familysearch has changed but if you want to look at the old site click onto 'Go to the previous site' which is situated on the right hand side half way down.
The information on Thomas Wilkinson Driver was extracted. He doesn't appear to have any sibling in that batch.

If you want to look for siblings when you have found someone, just scroll down, if the word batch appears, click onto it. This will bring you a new index. Enter the surname, then to the right enter the father's name. All the children, in that batch, will appear for that father. Sometime several families appear if there are several fathers with that first name. Try adding the mothers name if that happens.-jle

hi neither do I maybe sombody will tell us. anne

Sylvia, family search doesn't give that info any more. There was a thread about it but I didn't bookmark it.

I think the gist of the thread was they were extracted.

record title: >>>>>>>England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975<<<<<<<< [Whatever this means?]

Also, I haven't found a way to search by batch number so that you can easily get relatives.

Hi Sylvia I didnt notice if they were extracted of submitted where would it say that? anne

Anne


Did you take note of whether the records you found on familysearch.org were EXTRACTED or SUBMITTED?


Extracted records have been taken from the actual parish records


Submitted records have been sent in by someone, suually an LDS church member ..... and they can be very very wrong!

my husband seems to think James Driver is nothing to do with my family tree. He thinks it is Wilkinson Driver who was married to a Jane. They had a son called Thomas Wilkinson Driver born 1816. I have been on family search.org and found the drivers. Could they possibly got it wrong when writing the records. Have found Thomas Wilkinson bap in Keighley library records. thank-you anne

that's the only birth for a James Driver between 1778 and 1782

Could Betty Driver who had James 1786 have married in keighley 20/7/1800 to a Joseph Driver??

A Betty Driver christened Keighley 10/3/1765 by Thomas and Martha Driver.

you might also want to try looking at

www.beta.familysearch.org for aprish records etc


It's the Mormon site, and is free.

I dont think the birth tallies with James Wilkinson Driver I thought his mother was called Betty and wasnt married. He was born 1786 I might be wrong. thank-you Anne

Pre 1837 marriages are not on Genes but I looked on the Family Search site

http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/search/frameset_search.asp or https://www.familysearch.org/
