Thats a good idea,  presumably to do that you need a subscription.  :-\

Later: Done!

I emailed the GRO and told them about the error.

Here's their reply

""Thank you for your enquiry.

If we find an error  in our Indexes we have a rolling programme to update an electronic index which captures index errors held here at The General Register Office (GRO) in Southport.

You may wish to send us the relevant details including a photocopy of the birth death or marriage certificate.

General Register Office
PO Box 2
Southport
PR8 2JD

Unfortunately, due to the logistics of such an exercise, it would be impossible to update all the copies of our indexes, of which there are over 400+ in circulation around the world.  Index holders are aware of the existence of errors and GRO does not in any way warrant the accuracy or completeness of the data supplied.

Regards

Shirley Hallmark
Email Team, First Point of Contact
Civil Registration"

if you do get around to ordering the cert might be an idea to take them up on this as they appear not to act on undocumented discrepancies.

If you do order you should get a cover sheet with the cert which should show the surname PATON if this is how it is ordered. You should send this also.

If not a copy of the index page might be useful.

Only contact the GRO after you have the cert and if you think it will be worthwhile.

It would appear that the GRO will not 'take my word for it' by email that there is something wrong with the 1951 index.

They need proof but you will have to go out of your way to send them it.

At one time, if you went to the FRC with all this type of information, they would look at it and amend the big ledgers as well as do whatever they do behind the scenes.

That's how there are handwritten entries on the scans.

The FRC has gone, so have the ledgers and with so many copies of the index out there, they can't change everything.

We have amended freebmd which is, I would suggest, the most popular source, but results will only turn up if people search on PAT*.
