I have had a hell of a job trying to find birth records for my mother, Jaqueline Anne Haynes born 23 Oct 1941 then I discovered that they have miss printed her mothers maiden name as Marrington when it is in fact Harrington, is there any way this can be corrected. |

If it was on Freebmd then you can contact them and they will (eventually) correct it. However, if it said Marrington on the actual register then this cannot be changed. |

looks like its just a transcription error as the page type is very blurred. You can click add alternative information and the do the correction which will take time to show on the record. This is on the Ancestry record |

I think you 'are' being a numpty Jan - I am sure you can put a correction on anything on Ancestry, though it is rather fiddly and takes a long time to be added. |

If she was born Oct 1941 she should be in the Dec qtr however looks like it was a late registration and they were reg possibly Jan1942 so come under the Mar qrtr 1942 |

You say Victor lived into his 70, so have you located his death record? |
