George L Gilliver born 25 Feb 1901 a Coal cutter below ground in Repton R D.

He's on the transcription with the rest of the family but not on the image or it seems in the index.

I can't see how to report this.

I have reported the transcription error for Kathleen's year of birth.

You might be best to email FMP support, Marg, although there is probably nobody there at the moment because of the holidays.

Can you report another person, and then add a written note saying it refers to George? (I've not paid to unlock anything on the Register, so sorry if that's not possible)

I don't think that would work James so I'll do what Kate suggested tomorrow.

I did wonder at first if George was on the previous page, like happens on a census but he doesn't appear in the index either.

I hope you get better luck than I did Marg.

Have they still not closed your mothers record? Have you tried contacting TNA about this?

No - just a lot of excuses. They keep saying they have to correct her transcription before they can close her record and I keep saying her transcription is correct because I corrected it! lol I expect they mean they need to work out what went wrong with the whole page

They have given themselves 92 days instead of 72 hours to get it right. That time runs out on 28th Jan.

I've not tried TNA - maybe I should, but I'm losing the will to live now!

If fmp don't have it right by the end of Jan the **** will hit the fan!! :D

My great aunt is named born 1915. She passed away in August this year so only just didn't appear and still living.

I'm sure they didn't expect these problems but with the high level of mis transcriptions it was always going to happen.

That is so disgraceful Merry.

The default reaction should be that they CLOSE the record immediately until if and when they decide it ought to be left open.

I really feel that TNA should be informed of this. They cannot do anything about it if they don't know how badly FMP are handling what is after all a breach of data processing rules.

I've just read the TNA complaints procedure page, but it all sounds so long winded and drawn out........

(sorry to hijack your thread marg :o)

Not sure if I'm not grasping what you're saying, Marg, but he does come up on a search if you use the misspelling as you see it on the transcription, i.e., Gillver without the second 'i'.

And do we know what the annotations at the left and right sides mean? Something that looks like numbers and then RCVM? And on the other side A.R.P.?

And why does the numbering in Column 3 (Schedule Sub. No.) run from 2 through 11? Where is number 1? On the page image I unlocked, each new household begins with number 1.

And why does it say that
Catherine Gilliver and 4 more people are on this record
and
5 more people who are officially closed
when the image shows 6 more people on the record in addition to Catherine
and
3 more people who are officially closed?

Thank you Janet, I hadn't noticed the spelling difference. He is on the previous page at the bottom. A.R.P I imagine is Air Raid Patrol, The other, I don't know.
The previous image is horrendous, The black lines to cover living people aren't straight and cover the information on the people that are viewable. I've reported both the spelling, it is certainly Gilliver on the image, and the image itself for being mostly unreadable.

Perhaps the others have been opened since the initial listing.

Yes, could be.

That twisted image makes me dizzy! Can't quite imagine how they managed to do that.

Seeing this makes me glad that I haven't bothered getting my grandparents records opened. I can prove both deaths but don't need to see the register. I'm happy to wait until they iron out all the kinks.
