Hi Trish,

The death was on the 16th of March 1880.

A 'stone wall' it was, then!

Thank you for your suggestion anyway.

Yes.  I have just viewed a previous viewed death where I expected there would be an RCE.  I opened again the previously viewed death image and the RCE was shown in red at the top next to the other blue buttons.  I clicked on the red RCE button & it took me through the usual procedure similar to using the blue buttons.  A new image opens with the details of the correction.  Regards Gazania

I just did one and as there were a few deaths on the relevant page it turned out the correction was about one of those and not mine...Shame.

If you are viewing a result of a search on ScotlandsPeople and the RCE button comes up, read the certificate first and see if the RCE is pertinant to the entry you want, or to one of the others. The RCEs are linked to the page, so all the presence of the button tells you is that one or more of the entries on the page has an RCE linked to it.

Hi ADP - I'm a bit confused now... how do I see if the RCE is pertinant to the entry that I want rather than some other entry on that page?  I don't remember seeing any clues... Thanks

Hi Milly,

By looking to the left hand box on the original certificate,  there should be some writing like Reg. Corr. Entry or similar, next to that entry, this is quite prevalent in case of an accident or similar when mors that one death is registered. I have had 2 brothers drown on a fishing boat where there were RCE's in both.
Of course, do not pay to see original again, it maybe in your viewed images.

Hope this helps,

Tom

The certificate will have the RCE notation in the left magin beside the relevant entry. If the RCE (stamped or hand written as "RCE", "Reg. Corr. Entries", or similar abbreviation with a volume and page number) notation is beside the entry on that page that you are looking for, then go for it. If the notation is against one or more of the others on the page, then it is not worth you spending 2 credits to view an RCE not relevant to your research.

Thanks ADP

There wasn't anything marked against any entry on the page I was viewing - so I guss I shouldn't have clicked RCE.   But now I know better so thanks for that 

On the whole I do like the website though - I especially like the fact it remembers what you have searched and looked at before and doesn't charge you to look again!
