Review of 2022 Lancashire

We have made outstanding progress in 2022 with almost 74,000 Lancashire profiles added to our total over the last year, staggering growth of 35%. (The equivalent growth across England was 18%.) The figure has been boosted in recent months by the important improvement work being carried out on location fields with several thousand poorly formatted profiles now identified and allocated to Lancashire. Even without this, our underlying growth level was well above 2021 when 58,500 profiles were added.
  • Lancashire now represents 8.3% of England profiles, significantly up from 7.2% where we were at the end of 2021. We are still under-represented compared to the population of England in the nineteenth century so let’s hope we can maintain our strong momentum.
  • A higher percentage of Lancashire profiles is now connected to the main tree; currently 85% compared to 82% 12 months ago. This percentage is likely to improve as we add more profiles, making it easier to find matches.
  • We have seen improvements in quality with a reduction in the percentage of profiles with suggestions from 3.6% to 3.3%. Considering how many new profiles have been added, this is particularly impressive and compares favourably with the average across the counties of 4%.
  • There has been some excellent work carried out on profiles with a missing surname (or occasionally an unknown first name). In December 2021, 0.8% of Lancashire profiles were ‘Unknowns’; the percentage now stands at 0.6%. Again, we compare favourably to the average across England, which stands at 1.2%.
  • 2.1% of Lancashire profiles have been identified as unsourced, which is in line with the England total percentage. Our unsourced profile count increased disproportionately this year as a result of our efforts to improve location fields (many of the new profiles we ‘found’ were unsourced); and an initiative earlier this year to label profiles as unsourced also pushed up the numbers (many unsourced profiles need to be flagged manually to add them to the reports). These processes have laid important foundations for identifying Lancashire profiles that need improvement and we will be aiming to reduce the unsourced percentage in 2023.

The numbers in brackets represent each category expressed as a percentage of total Lancashire profiles.

Review of 2022 Greater Manchester

Reporting on Greater Manchester profiles only began at the end of October 2022 when there were almost 5,000 profiles in the database. The majority of these were pre-1974 profiles for which the county needed reallocating to Lancashire or Cheshire by correcting the location field. The Greater Manchester profile count has more than halved in the space of 2 months. Analysis suggests that this figure could reduce further by several hundred. The quality measures for Greater Manchester profiles are relatively good.

It is difficult to identify which members have been improving Lancashire/Greater Manchester profiles over past the year so I can't thank people individually, but if you have been working in these counties, I hope that you can see from the figures below that you are making a difference. Thank you for your efforts – they are very much appreciated.

In October 2022, the method for identifying profiles and allocating them to a county changed. A new county of Greater Manchester was added.
