Hi England Project,

I have been working on Cannon Southey (1701 to 1768). I would now like to add his wife Betty Periam to WikiTree, however, she was born just before 1700 so would like to see if you have any objections before I go ahead?

For sources I will be using the scans of the original documents on www.ancestry.co.uk:-

Milverton, Somerset, England baptism records which show a date of 14th December 1698 and  parents as John and Sarah Periam.

Milverton, Somerset, England marriage records which show a marriage on 9th March 1724/5 to Cannon Southey.

Her father John's will (probate 5th October 1711).

I am aware of the style guide and will try my best to follow it.

Thank you.

Assuming these are the sources used in the husband's profile, they are quite acceptable. Some people will object that Ancestry.co.uk is not accessible to nonsubscribers, but if this is the only source of the images of the original records, it is the best alternative in my O.
One tip, to make ancestry URLs easier to deal with you can delete everything from 'treeid' onward.  This removes the link to a specific person on a specific tree which makes the URL more stable.

Also you can generate (for most records that have images) a link to a slightly lower resolution version of the image that is freely available on the internet without requiring an ancestry subscription or even log-in.  look for an icon on the upper right part of an image around the 'tools' area that looks kind of like an arrow coming out of an inbox (or whatever it's supposed to be).  Click on it and you will get this link and you can add it to the source citation as well.  It's a little extra work but then everybody can see the image and you will be very popular and get invited to all the nice parties :)
The WikiTree Sourcer browser extension makes this really easy: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_Sourcer
Thank you for your reply Lois.
