Thank you all again for your help with Benjamin Downes and Elizabeth Thompson. The procedure and appropriate sections for 'Look ups' is duly noted.

Northern Lass, I seem to have struck a nerve. I will admit that I did not read the guide lines properly for lodging a 'Look up' I should have paid more attention to the Forum Posts written by the moderator, however someone that has never made a mistake, has made nothing. I will learn from this. It was never my intention to put anyone out by asking them to do something for me which made it an obligation or seem as an obligation. I will ask you not to look up Benjamin Downes m Elizabeth Thompson, or witnesses to the wedding, infact I insist that you do not. I have sent for fiche from GENfair and hope they are the correct ones. You mention that members only look at ceremonies BMD, from my very short dive into Genealogy I have found that everyone at a ceremony is of interest eg:- At my granmothers funeral, I found her sister, cousins I never knew existed, son in laws and sister in laws, not to mention grandchildren. When I joined Genealogy Forum UK I asked two questions 1. Sedgley Parish Registers in Print 2. The Gap in the Tipton Parish Registers 1736-1837, at no time did I ask for help to find someone or do research for me. I believe that information passed to me by other members was done as in good faith and a common interest shared. Posting a 'Look up' was suggested to me, I did that and made a mess of it for which I am sorry. I offer a sincere apology to any member who I may of inconvenienced, that was never my intention. Keith.

Hi Keith

Just to explain about the "look ups" in the Parish registers at the archives.
There is no problem about where you posted your look up request.
As you are new, myself and the other mods are happy to guide you to the correct places,
so that your posts get the maximum help that we can give you.
No worries there, post and we will advise or move to the right spot.

So you were after a look up at Sedgley, no problem I am happy to do that for you
and get you the information you need from the Parish register
that is what we do on here help each other out.
But as we say in the look up post it is only as and when people go etc.
No one feels obliged they do it because they wish to help.

So please be assured it was fine to ask for a look up
and you have not inconvenienced anyone, It would be myself that was going to do it for you
if you wish me to do it pm me and I will happily do it for you
I even stuck it as an urgent to get it done when I next went this week.

On the look ups at the archives we can only look at church ceremonies
not civil registrations so not Birth certifs/death certifs they are via a registry office
although the marriages in the Prs are the same information you would get via the registry office which is useful!

Hope that helps
