That site is SUPPOSED to only have extracted records! record title: England Marriages, 1538–1973 groom's name: Robert Riches bride's name: Sarah Cook marriage date: 02 Sep 1833 marriage place: St. Stephen, Norfolk, England indexing project (batch) number: I02240-8 system origin: England-EASy source film number: 1470863 record title: England Marriages, 1538–1973 groom's name: Robert Riches bride's name: Sarah Curl marriage date: 01 Sep 1833 marriage place: St. Stephen, Norwich, Norfolk, England indexing project (batch) number: I07334-2 system origin: England-EASy source film number: 1471634 record title: England Marriages, 1538–1973 groom's name: Robert Riches bride's name: Sarah Curl marriage date: 02 Sep 1833 marriage place: St. Stephen'S, Norwich, Norfolk, England indexing project (batch) number: I03371-5 system origin: England-EASy source film number: 1471611 Note that there are 2 different days for the marriage to Sarah Curl! sylvia

	As Jan suspected, I could not see them on ancestry the only way you are going to find out for sure would be to order the birth certificate for one of the children born after July 1 1837 sylvia
