Micklethwaites - GRO Changes 2016

In November, the General Register Office in Southport, England introduced a system where their indices to birth and death certificates can be searched. These have some extra information beyond what sites like FreeBMD have available, namely age at death (for deaths before 1865), mother's maiden name (for births before 1912) and full name ( at various times, second names were shown with initials).

This has been a gold mine! I have made at least 145 changes - I had assigned the wrong child to the wrong marriage in some cases; I have found a good number of children who I didn't know who they belonged to; and so forth. I also took the opportunity to check the 1911 census on which married women are asked to state how mwny children they have had, and have made a number of changes as a result, although I still have a few children who are "missing"!

Listed below are most of the children who have been affected by these changes - I might have missed a few! You can look at the data for these individuals in a couple of ways: clicking on the child's firstname links to that child's details; clicking on the ancestor's name links to their tree.
