Re: FamilySearch Help

Hi Mick and thank you. Firstly, I'd done exactly what you listed but got diverted after clicking on the option to see the PR. It's not the first time and I go round in circles.

Re: Britten Green marriage

Well done, Adrian - she was baptised in the village as Elizabeth Britten, dau of Thomas and Elizabeth Bird. Perhaps mum was nee Britten… thanks for that! I don’t need to chase the couple now I know she’s not the one I’m after. Much appreciated :D
