1871 Census Update : L. Brown -- 15 Nov 2004
wrote:-

Last week we released a maintenance fix to the birth location field in many of the Wales counties.

The counties affected by this update are:

Breconshire
Denbigshire
Flintshire
Glamorgan
Montgomeryshire
Radnorshire

Specifically, the error that was repaired was many of these counties showed a "-" in the birth location field.

This has now been updated to show the correct information.

Over 100,000 records were corrected.

I got a thrill to see the results of my work as a volunteer and a (friendly) critic
