I saw that on their front page and every time i clicked on it it went to Surrey marriages, so hopefully it will be soon!

Thank you - if you hadn't pointed it out I wouldn't have noticed!

They are on - but there are a lot of mis-transcriptions, so far on looking at some of my lot, I have a burial for Joseph Wheelhouse where it turns out it is an Abraham Carter buried in a grave owned by Joseph Wheelhouse, Dinah transcribed as Sarah, dates wrong on many of the transcriptions for my lot. Hope everybody else has better luck

You are making corrections to help other people, aren't you?

There seem to be quite a few problems. For some records it's very difficult to identify the place and/or chapel, only the repository is given, and a list of possible locations. If you have local knowlege you can probably make a guess, but otherwise it needs detective work cross referencing with the relevant archives.

Yes of course I am - as I go along.;D

Luckily, I do have the local knowledge to know where these chapels/places are so that's not the problem for me, it's just the inaccuracies of the transcriptions that's the problem for me.
