Banting Surname London Corrections to Ancestry London births, marriages, burials 1538 – 1812

When the London births, marriages, burial 1538 – 1812 data set was released Cliff Webb a noted genealogist alerted them to a number of errors in the data which they acknowledged.

It affects some of the Banting records, so I have included his long list of corrections because it might serve as a useful tool for others if it’s on our Banting site

There is a lot!

The following will be of great help if you can’t find your folk in the recently released London parish registers…..

The following are the listing errors that he has found so far for the Middlesex area only.
