Title: Anc*y have fixed something!
Post by: familydar on Wednesday 03 September 25 13:58 BST (UK)
Time for a small celebration perhaps.

Working through hints today, one was a probate index record for 1990.  Yes the "England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1995" dataset.  And indexed as 1990, both probate date and death date, not 1900.

How long has it taken them to sort this?

Good that something is fixed. The other day when looking at the new Suffolk records at Suffolk marriages 1754-1837 I found the search engine had a post 1837 marriage as taking place in 1804, when it was 1844. And I found several other examples of civil reg era Suffolk marriages said to be 1800 or 1802 or something. If only we did have civil reg in 1800.  ;D

With regards to the Suffolk records a lot have been scanned upside down!

Same for the recent Cambs & Hunts registers.

Makes it frustrating to browse through page by page as you have to constantly rotate the images.
