Wrong parish

SusanMcGinty

There are several entries in late 1700s for Allenheads Northumberland which are incorrectly attributed to St Christopher's Mission, Walker, Northumberland. The Mission church was not established until 1880s. And Walker is 40 miles from Allenheads.

I attach screen shots of two examples showing both entries. Can you please correct - there are more than these 2, but I cannot find source for the Walker entries

Another one for place standardization correction, please and thank you.

@Susan McGinty - please see this thread https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/116253/existing-historical-records-issues#latest for background on the issue. As requested in that thread, it would be useful to have the URL of the record(s).

For the two examples I gave they are:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J837-WJ4

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J837-WXD

But there are many others attributed to St Christopher's Mission who are also (correctly) indexed at Allenheads

SusanMcGinty I looked at the 2 URLs you provided: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J837-WJ4 and https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J837-WXD I am not seeing Allenheads in the indexed information on either of these pages. What am I missing?

No they are attributed to St Christopher's Mission, Walker. This church did not exist until 1880s.

If you search for entries for this church (with no name) there are many dates from before the church opened. The ones I have checked also come up with "Similar records" and the same person/dates but at Allendale church (St Peters)

The entries are duplicates of Allendale - this is the URL for Thomasin Phillipson at Allendale https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGRR-5ZTZ

@SusanMcGinty Thank you for the clarification. We'll get this investigated.
