Improved data now on site, including some enhancements

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

We have loaded a fresh version of the searchable data onto the website, with a number of enhancements:

  • Transcription errors reported up to February have been checked and corrected where necessary
  • Data standardisation has been applied to first names to correct common mistakes such as Geroge for George
  • Data standardisation has been applied to ages to make them standard: for example the various ways that householders may have written “months” has been standardised
These changes should further improve the accuracy of your search - many more are on the way!
