  • What exactly does 'updated' mean on Ancestry records?

    Every so often they will 'update' the census's

    I thought they were complete when they came out. When they say 'updated' do they mean they've added more households?

    Yes, it could mean more pages transcribed such as the ones damaged by water which have now been sorted out or it could mean more information added such as for BMDs where they are now giving the spouse in marriage records.
    I expect you would have to look at the record set to see what was different.

      Could it just be that they have accepted and applied corrections to census transcriptions sent in by users?

        I think that that is probably the most common reason for that description.

          I wish they'd say what they'd updated!
