The Common Room / FindMyPast Civil Births Transcript
« on: Sunday 26 July 20 16:02 BST (UK) »
I just started following up a load of 'hints' on my FindMyPast family tree and clicked on the Civil Births record that was suggested for my GGG - grandfather, William Collins (b1943).
I have never known his mother's maiden name so was interested to see it given as 'Jennings' on the transcription, but I'm puzzled as to where it came from as when I view the image that the transcript was taken from, this detail is not there.
Can anyone shed any light on this - has anyone else come across similar? I'm thinking it must be an error, although part of me it hoping that it isn't.
Surely the only place that information can have come from is the actual birth certificate - and I'm sure they can't have got it from there
