Batch M9BN-3T has no indication of which is groom and which is bride.

The names seem to switch back and forth, first the groom, then later what seems to be the bride's name comes first. There are a couple of times when the record has Miss or Mrs. before a name, but I don't feel comfortable in assuming that indicated which side the women are on throughout the document. Are the indexer and I justified in guessing which is groom and which is bride? Also, occasionally the record seems to reverse the order of given and surname. Have we chosen correctly?

    Hi, your batch code seems to be missing 1 digit after the dash. For this reason we cannot check your batch.

    Please check your batch code and re post it with the question.

    I think this is the batch, Larry. I remember the J from the other day.

    @SullivanJanice1 It does apparently flip back and forth. I think you should just put the first name encountered in the Groom slots unless you find a gender-specific clue in context. That's exactly what the Handwritten Example did - without a clue as to the gender of the individuals. The Researchers will figure it out.

    I did ask about this awhile back. Was told to use our best judgement. Researchers will have to figure t hem out!
