Thread: Free BMD record submission

Question: I just entered 2 records - 1 birth and 1 death - for my GM. When I tried to enter the marriage record (I tried 3x), it failed. The response was Error all in red letters. I don't know what the error is. I have the marriage certificate from the GRO.



Any help is greatly appreciated!



Another question: I have marriage cerficate for the groom's father. However there are several errors - do I enter as written on the certificate and put the corrections under Additional Information? The residence and the groom's father's name and occupation are incorrect. I know this because I have my GF(his son) birth cert.

This is the message I received (I just tried again)



Sorry. There was an error. Please Try Again.



Should I just try to input only the information in the red boxes and then edit the record with the information on the certificate itself?



thx

I tried all your suggestions, but still didn't work. So....I entered just the information requested in the red boxes and the record was accepted by the system. Now I will attempt to edit the record I submitted with the information on the certificate and see how far I get.



thx for your help Starlight

I just edited the record a little at a time - and it went through. However, I did get an error message when I was putting in the name of the witnesses.



The last name of the witnesses is O'Farrell. If I use the apostrophe between the O and the F I get a syntax error message and the system won't accept the information. If I leave out the apsotrophe, then the system will accept the information.



That leaves a slight problem in that the information is not exactly as it is on the marriage certificate.



thx for the help - maybe Jon has a suggestion as to how to get in the apostrophe.

Thanks, Chris.
