I am in Middlesex parish records. The form on the pages lists a date and a series of names with no identification of what they are. It isn't a marriage; could it be births with the names of parents? The only identification on the sheets are 00159 and 00160. Thanks, Frances Jeppson

    Look at the reference images first, in many cases there is a heading on a preceeding page that will tell you what kind of records they are. The other clue is the form of words that are used.

    For example John Smith of John and Mary is most likely to be a baptism

    When posting here, if you share the batch then others can take a look at the actual batch and give an opinion.

    If it's really unclear then return the batch as some of them are really difficult to differentiate.

    Please share the batch code or number in the title of your question. This is an example of where to find your batch code- end of the name of your project- yellow -

    How to share a batch code:

    ·        Just above the toolbar, click on Help.

    ·        On the drop-down menu, click Share Batch.

    The Share Batch window opens, giving you two options:

    Copy the batch link, or copy the batch code, either one of them past it at the end of your title of you question.

    To copy the batch link or code:

    Click the left side of the mouse and drag it over the area you want to copy, then move your mouse over the place you want to paste and click the right side of the mouse. (Choose keep text only)

    These are also sort cuts keys: You still have to drag the mouse over the area you want to copy and click:

    Copy: Ctrl+C and for Paste: Ctrl+V.

    A second way to find the batch code is by clicking on Batch, then About Batch. The Batch ID is the same as the code. Follow the same process of copy and paste the code in the community.

    We would be happy to help you.

    I have decided these must be birth records, and I'm going forward. Thank you for your interest. Frances Jeppson
