How to change a wrong answer

DeniseLada

This is so wrong but how to change it. My grandmother was born 2 February 1888 and Christened in march of that year but Family Search in the note as you can see says she was born in November 1888 which certainly makes it impossible for her to have been christened in March 1888. How did someone in Family Search not notice how ridiculous this is and there doesn't seem anyway to be able to edit in order to correct this

@DeniseLada

Thank you for posting in the Community about Jane Gledhill's record. We looked up the record in Family Tree, and found Jane Gledhill, KK35-TQW, which contains the exact information you outlined.

We wonder where you are looking that contains the wrong information. Are you looking in the Genealogies? If so they cannot be edited, and were added by individuals in previous versions of FamilySearch.

As long as the Details page is accurate, that is the most important information.

Please add additional information about where you are working, if you wish to have additional help.

FYI

As, 'Denise', has already indicated, with the "Links", in "Blue" (ie. 'William' & 'Ada') at the bottom of her post ...

I would guess that the indexer(s) mistook a Roman numeral II for an Arabic number 11, and that's why February turned into November.

The bad news is that this is not an editable index, because the image is unavailable on FamilySearch.

The good news is that the index is not the data. It is merely a pointer to or finding aid for the data. Now that you've found this index entry, you can check the Document Information on the left and hopefully use it to help track down the actual image. (I know English parish registers are generally on one of the pay sites, but I don't remember which one.)
