I have just come across a shocker whilst looking for my Kilminster rellies on the index, an 81 year old infant living with his parents aged 39 and 36 his estimated birth year was 1820!!!! on looking at the original he was "under month" old, the place of birth was wrong as well for the father they had Swerton, when the original said Tiverton. Has anybody else got other ones like this. Theresa
