Sometimes it can be worth leaving it (as you suggested with a ? placeholder name) for a while and coming back to it

I had a similar issue - I had found a bastardy bond with his mother listed as Ann - his grandparents had three daughters - Nanny, Hannah and Sibeana (and he named his daughters after all of them) - any of which could have been Ann. 2 years later I uncovered additional records which ruled out two of them

Yes

My husband was adopted when his step father was in Northern Ireland, so he has a 'birth' certificate issued in Northern Ireland, but states he was born in South Wales

My great grandfather was born 1900 - he was registered as being born on the 22nd January (he was registered 42 days after that) he was actually born on the 18th

I know he was born on the 18th -a) his baptism record shows the 18th (lie to the government but don't lie to god) and b) he told me - apparently he discovered this in his 20s when he first saw his birth certificate and his mother confessed - always celebrated his birthday on the 18th - but wrote the 22nd on forms so his mum wouldn't get into trouble

I got an email to say there was a reply

If you post again you can PM me

The Irony is that the individual whom I'm interested in is redacted, born 1923 died 2007. His brother, living in a different
household born 1928 and is still alive Is unredacted. Shows that errors are made.

Same as me, my grandmother is redacted and died 2014, her younger brother is also redacted (died 2017), two of her sisters are unredacted - both died after her - in fact one has always been visible since the release date and she died this summer
