For those that look for marriages on FreeBmd you will know that when you have found who you are looking for you then click the page number and usualy you get a list of names, two brides and two grooms. Sometimes only three names pop up, the partner you was expecting to find is missing, don't you just hate that. This has worked for me twice, it doesn't work everytime but is worth checking, for some unknown reason the spouse had been entered on the previous or next page. To find out if this has happened try this --
Just under the list of names you will find in the centre
Found one partner in a marriage but now looking for the spouse?
Click here for more information.
Do as it says, when the new page opens, scroll down and find
You can perform a spouse search yourself using the information here
Click "here" and another page opens, scroll down
Use the Find Page Entries facility as described
Click the highlighted FPE, now a new search page opens, highlight Marriages, select year and quarter and put in the volume number ie 6d for Brum, dont make any selection in the District box, click find. What comes up now is every page for the details you entered, scroll down to the page number you first found and next to it will be how many are on the page, we only had three so look at the page before and after especially if one says five, it might just be your missing spouse.
I know this sounds a bit long winded but it is only a few clicks really, why this sometimes happens i don't know and this method doesn't work every time but if it only works once for you it's worth it and you can sit there going YESSSSS LOL.

. As you say, it does not always work, however very satisfying when it does. :great:
