thanks everyone for the info 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
system origin: England-EASy
source film number: 1068834
Citing this Record
"England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/J7ZY-X7J : accessed 21 Oct 2012), James Collinge, 01 Jan 1815; citing reference , FHL microfilm 1068834.

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.

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

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

Marriages Dec 1871 (>99%)

Briggs Susannah Bury 8c 683
Collings James Bury 8c 683




???????

Deaths Jun 1889 (>99%)

Collinge Susannah 37 Bury 8c 321

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.

Lodger does seem odd - the 1851 image says Son - all had pob=Rawtenstall
They were Quarry Man, Weaver Cotton, Carder Cotton, [blank]

Births Sep 1849 (>99%)
