Who did Lewis Lister Peckett marry?

Yes, I worked it with FreeBMD, using a technique I've had to use in my own tree.
And, agreed, Ancestry presents you with the answer straight off

 

I also found it using FreeBMD, since that's what Peter said he used. Then I confirmed it by checking with www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk which also names the church.

 

Hope this isn't making Yvonne feel inadequate - all these routes to the name

 

I worked it out quite quickly with FreeBMD but didn't try FMP.

 

Yes - as usual the answer is to think laterally!

 

True, but quite a few times I have worked out some details like wife's name, and felt very proud of myself. Then gone to ancestry and put in a search and the same answer I was so proud of has just popped up. Lewis was not the first instance.

 

Well, Peter published the right way in beautiful detail. I notice he commented that most people didn't do it the way he told us to. I hope he's not including Tim, me, Susan, et al who used FreeBMD first, and then looked at other methods.

 

I have always been a huge fan of BMD, not the least because it has been put together over the years through astronomical volunteer effort. I quite often go to it first to sort out possible spouses before I look to see what I come up with at FMP or Ancestry. Not only are the "little jigsaw pieces" tantalising but I sometimes find other familiar surnames listed for my target year in the same registration area particularly in rural areas. Of course I do have to "park" these names and not get distracted by them and I must admit that in Norfolk I also have to be careful to remember that the Cubitts are Liberty's rellies not mine.

 

Over the years I have found FreeBMD to be a wonderful resource as I do not have subscriptions to the other two and, unfortunately I do not live near any large libraries which have public access to Ancestry.

 

Hear, hear! I would never have got off the starting blocks without FreeBMD, and then its sister sites. I got interested in my family tree when living in Azerbaijan so was probably as far from a library with an Ancestry subscription as anyone on this forum!
Actually, thinking back, I knew of no sites except GenesReunited, which had an OK-ish search facility in those days. My breakthrough came when my mother gave me a free booklet she had received with the Sunday paper, which included a list of useful websites. Only then did I discover FreeBMD, FMP, Ancestry, etc. Seems hard to believe, now.

Britjan, I am NOT possessive about Cubitts - follow them as much as you like!
