Just a call in this morning to again thank AustinQ and Flip for your input. It certainly has helped me understand. |

Phew!! Well looks like it cannot be corrected as it is the original index page which is incorrect. |

Hi AustinQ, no need to apologise - you have been very clear, but I found the error on Genes Record Transcription England & Wales marriages 1837-2008 so I assumed it was a genes error. Does this help you to help me? Is it simple to get corrected or a rigmarole? |

I'm sorry, I don't think I've explained very well- I'm hoping someone else can make it clearer for you. |

You say I can submit a correct, but https://www.gov.uk/correct-marriage-registration/what-corrections-can-be-made is where I address this - yes? |

How do I submit a correction and based on my information (sorry for being so ignorant on the Index) I think it is the index as shown on Genes site. |

I have checked the typed listing (is this the Index you mean?) and it states Gibson! |

If the name is transcribed from the original index incorrectly then you can submit a correction. |

AustinQ | Report | 17 Apr 2017 12:33 |
But have you checked the original index (the image of the index?) |

The family name is listed as Gibson and should be Gilson. The marriage certificate is correct, but it just appears on genes marriage as GIBSON. I need to get this corrected. |
