Thanks Jack and everyone else. Well I guess we are in the minority Jack. I've now had to tape a little note on my screen for the years/months in question so that I can remember to adjust the date. As for your question on the IGI - I've found some actually do enter the double dating method. Others I treat purely as marginal evidence until such time as I am able [not always the case] verify via parish records etc. Thanks again Jan
