  • Ancestry 1916-2005 Indexes ??quality

    The 1916-2005 transcriptions of the Marriage and Birth Indexes are a great resource BUT would be even better if they were more reliable. Unfortunately these transcriptions via OCR leave a lot to be desired. I have sent in many corrections and I am not a very busy user. (I must admit the quality of the source is not too good to start with but....)
    If searching for a "Jones/Smith" wedding you are very likely to get a different result with a "Smith/Jones" search.
    There is no obvious way to submit corrections for "spouse" or "MMN" .
    Am I just unlucky or are others finding a very high error rate?

      And still more errors.....

      no Tilley marriages for 1969 Dec

      no Harrop births for 1927 Dec

      I must be unlucky. I am getting errors in about 10% of my searches!!
      This is tidying up references for a few events which I know happened.
