It might work well to do a master source for the website itself (note that
the title of the website, Dorset Online Parish Clerk would be italicized):
Dorset Online Parish Clerk (http://www.dorset-opc.com)
Then in the Source detail, begin with the name of the sub-page in quotes
(whatever the name is):
"Sherbourne Parish Marriage Records," entry for John Q. Public and Eleanor
Q. Smith, certificate no. XXXX (1938)
So when put together it would be:
Dorset Online Parish Clerk (http://dorset-opc.com), "Sherbourne
Parish Marriage Records," entry
for John Q. Public and Eleanor Q. Smith, certificate no. XXXX (1938).
This would appeal to your lumping sensibilities, and offer the flexibility
to put the different names of different sub-pages.
I will be interested to hear other's suggestions.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Yet another Sourcing Question - web pages
I'd be interested to know how other LUGgers would record the Sources in
the following example.
The main website URL is http://www.dorset-opc.com (Dorset Online Parish
Clerk) and from that page there are links to OPC pages for various
parishes within the county of Dorset, such as Sherborne for example, for
the which the main page URL is
http://www.dorset-opc.com/SherborneFiles/Sherborne.htm
This section of the website has many pages of transcriptions of various
different records - Parish Registers, Censuses, Postal Directories, MIs
etc. There are, for example, 13 pages of Parish Church Baptisms, each
page covering about 10 years; similarly, there are 10 pages of Parish
Church Marriages.
The URL for any particular page where I might find the Baptism of one of
my relatives will be something like:
http://www.dorset-opc.com/SherborneFiles/SherborneBaps1790-1799.htm
and the page heading (in that instance) is (heading) "Sherborne"
(subheading) "BAPTISMS 1790 - 1799".
Because I have many relatives from Dorset, I need to cite several
different pages from several different parishes.
Now I am definitely a "lumper" (cf recent LUG thread) so I do not want a
separate Master Source for every individual page of the website. I have
been using "Dorset Online Parish Clerk" as the Master Source, but
perhaps it would be better to have separate Master Sources for each
Parish Online Clerk, such as "Sherborne Online Parish Clerk" and
"Melcombe Online Regis Parish Clerk", etc? Either way, should I enter
the URL for that page as "Publication Facts" or as "Repository"?
Then moving on to Source Detail. Is it sufficient just to enter
something like "Sherborne Baptisms 1790-1799" (if the Master Source is
"Sherborne Online Parish Clerk") or should I also include the URL of
that particular page, all in Detail Information? Or should I enter the
page URL as the Detail Information and the page title as Detail Text?
So what would you do, LUGgers?
