Can anyone HELP ???? Everyime I click on a Hugh Wallis Batch Number,put in the name, in this case PULLAR, a 'Pop Up' says ' If you change the batch number it must be 7 charachters long starting with a letter' The problem is I NEVER CHANGE THE BATCH NUMBER.....What am I doing wrong ????? I just get taken straight to the IGI. Hope someone can help. I am going crazy !!!!!

Margaret What details are you looking for - Who / Where / When etc Elly

Hi Ellie & Chris, Sorry just got back to the computer, had to leave for awhile. I get that regardless of what day I try so it can't be a computer glitch. This is what I do. SCOTLAND +ANGUS+ TANNADICE I click on one of the batch Numbers, put in the name PULLAR and enter. That is when the Pop-Up appears. It will not go to the batch number.I am interested in ANYTHING for PULLAR in TANNADICE. It would be great if you could bring up something. Thanks, Margaret

Have you tried: make a note of the batch number, then go directly to the familysearch site, and then enter the batch number (and surname & location) manually. If that doesn't work, then maybe the batch number is incorrect on Hugh Wallis site? Richard

Seems to work for me: C113211: 1. JEMIMA PULLAR - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 10 AUG 1866 Tannadice, Angus, Scotland 2. DAVID PULLAR - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Birth: 15 DEC 1864 Tannadice, Angus, Scotland C113213: 1. PULLAR - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Birth: 25 APR 1870 Tannadice, Angus, Scotland 2. ALICE PULLAR - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 21 FEB 1872 Tannadice, Angus, Scotland 3. JAMES PULLAR - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Birth: 27 APR 1868 Tannadice, Angus, Scotland 4. CHARLES PULLAR - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Birth: 06 JUL 1874 Tannadice, Angus, Scotland I checked all 6 batch numbers for Tannadice, and the above were the only Pullars. Richard

Hi Richard,Did you get the names through the Wallis Batch Numbers ? I have tried just taking his numbers and entering them on IGI, that didn't work for me either. It is so frustrating......Anyway, some of the Pullars you brought up were mine. much appreciated. Thank you. Margaret

Margaret - yes, it worked both ways - i.e. directly from the Hugh Wallis page and also by entering the batch number, surname and country on the IGI (familysearch site). Richard

Hi Richard, IT WORKED !!!!!!!! The only thing that I did differently was to type in the Batch Number further down on the page. The Pullars that you gave me were ALL mine. Thanks. Where would be the best site for checking on Marriages for those people ? They would be approx. 1873 to 1890. Also I noticed that you are in Perth. How would I find a burial place in Caputh,Perth,1861 Charles Pullar ? Margaret California.

Hi Margaret - sorry, wrong Perth! I'm in Perth Australia... For the marriages 1873-1890 I suppose that you'd need to check on ScotlandsPeople, or FreeBMD if you think that they may haved moved south of the border. Cheers, Richard

Thanks Richard. The world is so small with these computers !
