There are errors on Ancestry, as there are on all the sites, I have found, which doesn't help us sleuths! I can only assume that registered events were grouped into several counties for administration, I've got used to it now and just try to read it all properly. But I love Ancestry as they have helped me a great deal! Now if you want errors, jut check out Family search and its optimistic contributers from across the pond, or indeed the 1911 census! I emailed them some errors when it was first online and they haven't changed them yet! |

Hi DET - County boundries have indeed changed over the years, but Nottinghamshire is next to Derbyshire and is slightly understandable. The births I looked at were miles & miles apart with boundries no where near each other. |

I don't think they are mistakes, just something to do with registration districts and counties eg |

PigletsPal - I understand what you mean but the births I was looking at were in the 1920's & '30's ! |
