Contact and corrections

Send a verifiable correction

Email [email protected] or use the form below. Include the page URL, the field you believe should change, the proposed wording and a direct catalogue or institutional source. Please do not send sensitive information about living people or copied collections of personal data.

What happens next

This is a static form and does not upload archive material or send its fields to the web server. Submitting it opens a draft in your device's email application so you can review the recipient and content before sending. A received suggestion is checked against the cited source before the dataset changes. We may preserve a concise editorial log of the fact changed and its source, but not unrelated personal correspondence.

We cannot undertake private family-history research, identify living people, or confirm an individual solely from an index result. The guides explain a reproducible route so researchers can evaluate evidence themselves.

Useful correction evidence

The most useful message identifies one page and one claim. Include the official archive, government, scholarly or collection-owner URL; the catalogue hierarchy or reference; the wording that should change; and the date on which you checked it. If the issue concerns parish coverage, specify baptism, marriage or burial rather than treating them as one range.

Please do not attach copied registers, bulk name lists, family trees or personal details about living people. A concise description is enough for an editor to follow the catalogue route independently. Questions about subscription accounts, archive bookings, certificates or image licences should be sent to the organisation that provides that service.

Messages are prioritised when the proposed change affects a coverage date, repository, boundary warning or broken source link. General research requests cannot be answered individually, but the published guides may be expanded when a repeatable source-finding problem is identified. The site never publishes the sender's name as an author or testimonial.
