I have been searching for the marriage of this Edwin Tibbetts for some time:
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... onnections
and knew from census records that he married a lass named Lydia. This morning I trawled through the 1860s marriages for all Lydias on ancestry.com and came up with a marriage in 1865 reg. at Stourbridge of Lydia Fletcher (Q3 6c 281). The cross-reference to spouse revealed the GRO scribe (not ancestry!) had recorded the groom as Edwin Jibbelfs! :roll:
I don't think 1865 is included in the WMBMD transcriptions. Is there any way we can check the marriage without sending for the certificate? Secondly, is there a process for correcting the GRO entry?
Lydia can be found in the census with her parents (Joseph and Mary) in Powke Lane in 1851 and 1861.

From Marriage locator
Marriage Locator Search Results

GRO Index: 1865 quarter 3, volume 6c, page 281:

Sorry, we cannot locate the church for this marriage. The entry is located between entries for Wolverhampton St Luke and Wollaston St James, both in RD Stourbridge.

FMP have it recorded as Jibbetts and when you look at the form, that is how it is spelt.
