Thanks Sandra, that's interesting with the DNA.

Yes wise not to accept 'as is' in any trees.

I know I have done it before, put out some names etc into an online tree to see if I get any match come back, but I have read quite a few trees that I think people have been made up records, and other people have copied the same incorrect info into their trees, so that's annoying.

Hence my effort to try and correct this long held incorrect info that is recognised as correct only by the number of trees using it.

I'm a bit stuck and because the time period is some 40 years prior to Census records etc I can't confirm info so I'm now trying to knock out some of the possible names as belonging to other trees.  even that's hard, an example is I have a name of a christening and the same name of a death 12 months later, but can't confirm if it was a baby buried or a different adult or elderly person.  I suppose when they did these records they didn't expect us trying to do Family Trees 200 years later  .

OK, yes.  That's probably more what I'm trying to find out is a pattern of how things were, or weren't recorded.
I'm only new at this and I've had some help on understanding local cultures of what happened back then. 
I wonder if back then they realised how hard it would be to trace people with the lack of recorded info, maybe that was the idea

OK thanks.  Would that better indicate an older person if the Age was left out from the way records were kept in those times?

Robert?

OK thanks.  I thought maybe if they were under a certain age maybe the age was left out.

Who would have that register now?

The Transcription was by Herefordshire Family History Society but I'm not sure of what the process was according to the search.

Robert

Thanks for the info.  Long shot maybe, but I never knew such a register existed.  I'll have a look through it and see if any info comes to light.
