Just to say I've found my Auntie Eunice born 1928 and is still alive & well & still got a memory....as I've just spoken to her...... but her record is not closed ! ...

..... however I've not found my mother born 1919 & died 1970, who I believe (& so does Eunice) is living in that same household at the time, as her mother (my grandmother) is also listed as living there along with her sister (Eunice's mum) .... and could well be the recorded closed item in that household.

How do we know the name of the closed person so I can claim that it should be reopened? Surely someone knows how these eradicated people are?

If a record is marked as Closed you cannot know who they are until after what would have been their 100th Birthday when they are automatically opened the only way to open a record is by producing a death certificate and sending it off to be verified to open. People who died after 1991 and not yet gone past their 100th birthday mark will also be closed  however i have found people who died before 1991 still closed

I have just purchased my first and probably last entry from the 1939 register. My main concern is poor transcription of data. I wanted to get my GG Grandmas residence 39 Chapel Hill. The first problem which I suppose is not find my pasts fault are many people who are deceased before 1991 have not been updated. There are 11 people at the residence but I can only see four entries although only one is still living and two died after 1991.

The names are completely wrong on the database the transcriber has put the names of people that on the original image are at the address next-door meaning it took me ages to find the data all the names are mixed up and sates are wrong although the original image is clear enough to make out the correct names as such the household name is even wrong I have submitted multiple corrections to FindMyPast however they may take upto 90 days to correct.

The only person that was correct was my aunt Emily (1924-1990)  and this was the only way I found the entry as all other details are wrong on the database despite being quite legible on the original document.

I think £6.95 is reasonable amount but wonder if it has been rushed out has anyone else come up with this problem.
