Ditto, Margaret.
I recently discovered that some research my brother did was wrong - because we didn't buy the cert! I have re-done that part of the tree.
I also had to do a very large chunk again some years ago because I didn't buy one certificate. In my own defence (!) only the 1861 census was available to me at that time, and this great grandmother was born after that.
Like you, 200 years research down the pan, but why not? She wasn't my biological great grandmother so why on earth have the wrong information on my tree, even if it did cost me endless hours of work and running around.
