there are 4 or 5 Collinge James born around that time in the area. suggest go back to the beginning and trace back ie with known children / grandchildren of James

can not find James with Susannah after 1881
there is a James and Susan but they also appear in 1881 not not the same people.

just out of interest, and because I can't see it above ............... here is James marriage to Susannah

Hi can anyone tell me what England Easy means i keep finding the same number on the Collinge family 1068835 or 6 now i have found the same number in the 1700s, i hope to go and do a look up but don't understand these things audrey

FS has done a number of transcription projects.
England-EASy is one of these - England-VR and England-ODM are two more I know of.
Sometimes, the coverage overlaps as the following 2 pairs illustrate:

If, as I believe, these are independent transcriptions, the possibility of differences arises.
I think that ODM has been better checked than EASy, but I'm not sure of this. It never arose for me.


Lets look at an example closer to Audrey's mob:

name: James Collinge
gender: Male
baptism/christening date: 01 Jan 1815
baptism/christening place: Prawtenstall, Goodshaw, in the Forest of Rossendale, Lancaster, Chester, England
father's name: James Collinge
mother's name: Alice
indexing project (batch) number: I02448-3

This record was transcribed from the FHL film 1068834.
One can order this thru your local LDS FS Centre to view there - see:
https://familysearch.org/locations
for locations, then give them a call to find exactly how this would work.

One can also look at the FS Catalog and search for the film # to see what it covers:

So if one lived in Lancs, one could either go to the LRO in Preston, or Manchester Central Library, and avoid the FHL film rental fee.

thanks everyone for the info audrey
