Does anyone have time to check the page number for me on the marriage of Charles Watts to Elizabeth Kempster in Amersham in the Sept QTR of 1846. I am undecided as to it being 451 or 457. Thanks

It's difficult to tell, but I would say 451. Kath. x

On Elizabeth's record it looks more like 451 but Charles looks like 457!!! Thanks, I think I go with 451 as there is not enough length on the tail for a 7.

Yes, I looked at both. If you are ordering from the GRO, I would just put whichever number you think and put a question mark after it. I was once told by them that they check a few pages either side if the page number is not correct. Kath. x
