Thanks Pat
I was not aware of just using the parents' names. How helpful
To use the batches, type in M for marriage and C for christening followed by the batch number corresponding to the Church or Parish.
For example, if you type Boyde in the last name and C038011 in the batch number you will get all 63 records corresponding to Boyd/Boyde christenings in Ballaugh. If you type M038011, you will get the 22 marriages.
The parishes all start with 038.
The numbers are:
038001 St. Lukes Balwin?
038011 Ballaugh
038021 Braddan
038031 St Barnabas Douglas
038041 St Mathews Douglas
