They are as accurate as can be, although a few mistakes will be on. But don't forget there are lots of mistakes in the indexing. Freebmd can find mistakes as well. g granddad Henry Simpkins never found his name in the indexing for his marriage to Ellen Wilkins, so I ordered it from Ellen's. When it was on Freebmd I clicked on the page number with Ellen and up came Henry Timpkins. Some times you just have to go for it, if you see what I mean. But I always like to double check if I can.

They don't claim to be and I suspect in some cases there will be mistakes as some handwriting will be hard to understand. My own personal experience has been that they have been spot on in all my re search to date : ) Hope that's of some help to you Much happiness Debi

No Im not here to knock that site I think its great. I have just found what I think is one of my rellies and instead of being down for her marriage of Wiltshire to Bartlett is Willshire to Bartlett. The dates according to children born are correct and the area is spot on I dont want to order marriage cert yet as I have many more pressing ones which I need. Marriages Jun 1850 BARTLETT Charles Bridgwater 10 609 Brewer Samuel Bridgwater 10 609 Gage Mary Ann Bridgwater 10 609 Peirce Henry Bridgwater 10 609 Pyke Ann Bridgwater 10 609 WILLSHIRE Charlotte Bridgwater 10 609 thanks for any advice Jan x
