Just downloaded the OPR for a marriage I found some time ago, but just got round to getting the image for.

It is indexed as having taken place in February 1832, which meant my 3xGreat Grandmother was born a few years before her parents were married

but she wouldn't be the first illegitimate birth amongst my ancestors, so I'd taken it as fact.

Not so! The actual OPR page has the year written at the top 1822/23. The year numbers have been transposed.

Mary - I'm pleased you got the right image. I just tried to download a baptism I was near certain* had the wrong date and
- the image was of the page with dates around the wrong date, and therefore the baptism I was after wasn't on the image ! ( If you can follow !)

Contact form sent.

* Felt sure it was wrong - his parents were literally half-way across the Atlantic at the indexed date . They went to New York in steerage , then down to Virginis , where they had a son of the same name as the one I was just trying to look up , then went back home and had another child.
And then typically for the time period they were abducted by an

Quite an eventful life really.

Och! One of mine married twice (both extraterrestrial ceremonies), widowed twice (one off-planet), had four kids (first two by first husband born on Earth) and everything else somewhere else in the galaxy! Oh, nearly forgot! She died in a very Earthbound Poorhouse in Perthshire

Anyone know where I can access extraterrestrail BDM's?

Och aye, a certain US corporation are surely working on the transcriptions as we speak - it looks like they occasionally let the Klingons loose on the census records as well....

Calling occupants.....

Well, if they DID get to the Moon (?????) maybe they put in a bid for the indexes? Then again, from some of the transcriptions we've already seen, they didnae pay enough!!!

Oh Goody! I can hardly wait for the Extraterrestrial's BMD's to come on line. $\:D/$

I have many ET's in my family, including one GGrandmother who though born in Scotland, doesn't show up on any kind or records until the day she got married.

It beggars belief that my rellie managed to live from c1826 to 1894, married twice, had four kids, but all I have for her is an entry in the 1841 census, two mother of the bride mentions and two mother to 2nd marriage sons. Then she actually gets an entry of her own when she dies!

Throughout her life she managed to avoid documentation for her birth, two marriages, and even managed to "lose" her first husband without any DC for him! Even the 2nd husband's DC is still "very much TBC" as he is noted as married, but no spouse name entered and the informant didn't know his parent's names, only getting the age and occupation right.

Definitely ETish behaviour

Well, without documentary proof, I'm not going to be adding "Intergalactic" to the list of nationalities my kids have in their ancestry!

So there!
