I have accessed this image and sent a copy of the relevant part of the scan to the enquirer. The instructions on the 'Information' page advise that this sort of message be sent to register@FreeBMD.rootsweb.com If after checking an image and finding a mis-transcription, a viewer wishes to submit a correction request, this may be done from the 'spectacles' link or the 'info' link on the search result, when a paragraph comes up like this "If you have a correction to this entry, please click here. Please note that you can view the scan from which this entry was transcribed - see below. Please examine this image to verify that any correction you submit is the same as in the GRO index. The objective of FreeBMD is to provide online access to this index and entries are aligned to the GRO index, not to other sources." The 'click here' is adjusted to match the details of the search result, and leads to a form to submit suggested correction, indicating a source such as the FreeBMD scan image.

Thanks, but that wasn't really necessary, since I had no pressing need to see the image. It just happened to be an entry that came up in a search I was conducting. > The instructions on the 'Information' page advise that this sort of > message be sent to register@FreeBMD.rootsweb.com Right, thanks. Obviously, I missed that. > If after checking an image and finding a mis-transcription, a viewer > wishes to submit a correction request, this may be done from the Mis-transcription found, correction sent. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent"
