This talk by Gwyneth Wilkie will focus on the difficulties experienced before the introduction of civil registration in proving age, identity, lineage and entitlement - and the opportunities which arose for false claims to be made. It will also demonstrate how an understanding of the way data was recorded, transmitted and indexed can help resolve problems with the GRO indexes.
This is a talk run by the Buckinghamshire Family History Society on Tuesday 13th November 2018 in the Eghams Room at Bourne End Community Centre starting at 19:45 (doors open 19:30). Tea and coffee are available after the talk with time to mingle and chat.
Visitors are very welcome. Entrance is £2 for members or £4 for non-members (or why not take out an annual membership from as little as £6).
