England Unknown Progress and Searches

Profile manager: Steven Whitfield [send private message]

This page contains links to lists of profiles where the birth location has been poorly formatted. By correcting the formatting, you will reduce the 'England Unknown County' profile count and increase your county's profile count.

The easiest way to correct a location is to open the profile and change the location using the drop-down location boxes, paying particular attention to time periods.

If you would like to 'adopt' a place on this list, please edit this page putting your name in the relevant cell on the table. The searches can be broken into smaller clusters. If you would like to create a Free Space Page for your county team to work on with smaller groups of searches, please contact me.

The table will be updated each week - hopefully we will see individual county numbers and the England Unknown County profile count reducing.

If you have any questions, please contact me either by a direct message or on Discord and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Good luck and thanks for your contribution.

Steve

Notes

1. The search results should only bring up open profiles
2. Most pre-1500 profiles have been excluded (but a few pre 10th cen will have slipped through the net). If anyone can work on correcting pre-1500 profiles, please contact me.
3. The search is only only birth location fields but you may want to correct poorly formatted marriage and death fields while you are working on the profile.
4. Some profiles will be included in more than one search eg a profile with 'Sheffield, Yorkshire (West Riding), England' will appear in both the Sheffield search and the West Riding search
5. Some searches may bring up locations not in your county. eg the Chester search brings up a few Chester-le-Street profiles. (Feel free to add the correct county!)
6. Occasionally you might find that a location has already been corrected by someone else since the last data dump. If the fields look OK, check the changes log. If the location hasn't been amended since the weekend, look again at the location field as there might be eg a full stop where there should be a comma.
