While I have your attention :wink: Is there a way on this forum to link my threads together instead of trawling through them all?

You could add a link to a previous thread...

If you open a thread at the top in the address bar copy that and paste it to another thread

it will link it.

Adding to what Linnell put the actual image looks like Jene for Jane and Cottrell for Thomas but also another image shows Cotterell. To see the image if you use freebmd, search the marriage, it will show

Marriages Jun 1855 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANDREWS Jane K Norton 6c 548
ANDREWS Jene K Norton 6c 548
COTTERELL Thomas K. Norton 6c 548
COTTRELL Thomas K Norton 6c 548
ROBINS Betsy K Norton 6c 548
SOUTHALL Thomas K Norton 6c 548

The other people on there were on the same volume and page as your family. Next to the names you will see a little pair of glasses, it doesnt show up here from my copy of it.
If you click the glasses another page will open, scroll down a little and to the left you will see
view original
then you can see what the transciber has to work from to add to Freebmd.

Freebmd is done by volunteers and isnt complete but a fantastic resource to use as a guide
