Well I just received an interesting result when I opened one of my Moremon Households.

On the preview for the Household there are 2 people opened and 1 officially closed which is correct

Sidney E Moremon 04 Jul 1895 Male Platers Helper Steel Works Married 73 1
Mary Moremon 17 Dec 1898 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 73 2

The person officially closed is their only son Sidney who was born in 1929 and still very much alive though he has moved to Australia from the UK

So I've opened the record and I can see Sidney E and Sidney Jnr and Mary's record has been blocked out.

I've saved a copy of the record but I'm in 2 minds as to whether I should report the problem to FMP. Or maybe contact Sidney's family and see what they have to say.

I just might sleep on it and decide what to do tomorrow.

Contact FMP. There's mention on another thread where something like this has happened. The poster got an apology and a number of credits.

Obviously Sidney Jr will stay redacted, but that's to be expected. The other 2 were born well before 1915!

Under the UKs Freedom of information act and the National Archives own decision, the parents records should be open.

An error has been made. Why the uncertainty about letting FMP know? They'd already be on the 1901 & 1911 census!
Just because most users are only interested (at the moment) in accessing a few closely related people, any one with a deep pocket is entitled to do so. I wouldn't be surprised if probate research companies will use the data base to help search for the heirs to unclaimed estates.


These are UK records held/released by a UK government organisation. UK rules/laws apply, not those pertaining to other countries.

I'll report the problem to Find my Past as I have the image save to my computer.

Just wish I could find the rest of the family
