If the original is so illegible that the checkers can't tell either, is the page uploaded anyway? In addition to John Fairlie's comments, I would also say that you are now aware that there is an entry for COLLINS, Elizabeth in that quarter of that year. That puts you in a position to look at or get someone to look at the originals and see if the information is better. Without the entry uploaded you wouldn't have known there was one. Even with all the information missing, the fact that someone of that name was registered is a useful piece of information. Cheers Graham
