I’m very happy to be corrected as I’d rather it was right. That’s what I tell people when we connect. Someone did recently, I’d made an assumption about my great grandad that he was born in Tranent East Lothian and I had the certificate from Scotlandspeople. In subsequent census returns in Sunderland, Hebburn, Durham his birth was Sunderland and a year out. Turns out the first one must’ve died and the next child had the same name ( quite common I know) and it took someone else to track that down. She was very persistent and it was confirmed by another birth certificate.
I agree the hints have been a bit dodgy lately
