No doubt a simple query but I can't work out how to create a list of all register office marriages - not just those in a specific place. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Deirdre

Do you put "Registry Office" in the address or in another field.

If it's in the address field you can create a Fact Query and filter on marriage and that the address field contains Registry Office.
or as Registry office is unlikely to occur anywhere else just use the Find option to search for it and then view the results as a result set.

Deirdre, a few more clues would help us provide an answer.

How do you record register office marriages that would distinguish them from church weddings?

They will both use the standard Marriage event.
Is there something in the Place field or the Address field that identifies register offices?
Then it should be possible to use the contains filter to include just those.

Thanks both, yes in the place field, eg Register Office, Pontypridd (whereas my church marriages say eg place = Cardiff, address = St Peter's RC church). Guess it would make sense if they followed the same format! I'd forgotten 'contains' so couldn't see how to select them all. Should work now, thanks.
