1939 Register errors - findmypast
Yes, I gave in and bought some credits! Checked on my Dad (not there, as suspected, he was abroad in the army already). But found his family as:
Annie Ellyia (should be Eliza) Ja? (should be Jabez) Jonel (should be Jeuel) Not spending my precious credits on seeing the originals, but I'm guessing the handwriting was a bit difficult to decipher.

Yes, I found Sloper indexed as Hoper, and my great-aunt born 1912 instead of 1917. I wouldn't want to correct the second of these as it would mean she had to be redacted and I would have to get a death certificate to get her reinstated, but I was quite willing to put in a correction for the first one, only there was nothing to click on to submit a correction. There is supposed to be a "Report an error" option if you click "Update the record", but I can only assume you only get this if you have actually paid to view, as I don't see it on the free preview.

Kate, I think it mentions in the FAQ that only subscription holders can report errors and submit 'missing' deaths. Others have to contact TNA, Kew.

I've had a search and found a household that has to be way out
A mother and son plus a much older stepson?. Except for the fact the year of birth for the stepson is wrong and he died in 1936 out of county, (1911 and his death cert are for the same out of county address as are birth certs for his 3 kids). While there are 13 individuals with the name in my tree only two were born in the right decade, the remainder are either pre 1820 or post 1890, the latter all documented out of county throughout their lives. Of the 12 aunts and uncles on my maternal side only one appears in results, again out of county. I have his marriage cert just a week or so before the register, marriage and residence two hundred miles away from the register result so I doubt the result is him. Three aunts emigrated so they are missing, one was 15 at the time and the rest of them appear never to have existed.

I asked on their Facebook page about how to report an error and they said it was an option on "Update a record" but when I said I couldn't see it on there, they never replied. They keep saying (to other people) that it is an option on the transcription, so I guess they mean the paid transcription, not the free one. As for submitting death certs, yes, they say that is only available for subscribers, but I haven't seen anything on FMP's site saying annual subscribers only - I only saw that on TNA's site. If it is annual subscribers only then FMP are being very misleading. Hopefully a monthly subscriber will try submitting one and see what happens?

From what I've read on this and other forums I'm glad I've decided not to bother for a while. Kate found the only thing I really needed to know and that was confirmation of the date of birth of Peter Henry Harrison. She did that on the free search. I know where my parents and grandparents were.

Genealogists are delighted to now have access to the 1939 register, quite possibly the most extensive collection of overpriced mistranscriptions yet released.
