I agree with Rina that it would be good to be able to add a source for a baptisms, burials and also military records to their correct heading.

After completing what I thought was as far as I could go with my father’s family tree, I received an email through ancestry.com.uk after searching the records about 5 years ago, and after contact and confirming details received a letter that my grandfather wrote to his elder brother in 1918 outlining his where abouts for the last 15 years, which we had no or little knowledge of his life before he married my grandmother, both being widower. He said in the letter that he had been in the army serving in South Africia and India for 12 years sometime after the last location of him in the 1891 Census and 1910, Your records only cover World War I & II records and no Regular Army records and at sometime was in the Merchant Navy and can’t find any records so if there are records I would appriciate a clue where to look

With regard to London Metropolitan Records, when is Ancestry going to address the current problem with baptism and burial results? Currently, baptism dates are being saved as birth dates – even though these 2 events may be weeks, months or even years apart. Equally, burial dates are being saved as the date of death – even though these may be several days apart. This all adds up to the recording of incorrect data on a grand scale.
