==Accuracy==

We have taken every care to ensure accuracy of this wiki content. Where possible sources of information are referenced. However, as is inevitable in the collection of people's memories and even in documented 'evidence' such as newspaper articles, the accuracy of information can vary and even stray towards the anecdotal. Please bear this in mind when using this wiki. 

If you find any information which you think may be inaccurate we would be pleased to hear from you at [mailto:steve@stevegibbon.co.uk steve@stevegibbon.co.uk]. Please let us know the corrected information and sources if at all possible. Thank you.

If you are using this site for family history research purposes (once that data becomes available) there are a number of things you could try:

# Use the search box on a full or partial name - try surnames first. Our main biographical pages use the format Surname, Forename e.g. 'Scott, Jane'. Other references within pages will use the more common terminology 'Jane Scott'.
# Go the the [[:Category: People|People Category]] page where there is an alphabetically sorted list go biography entries. We have endeavoured to use married names but have created cross-link entries from maiden names as much as possible so you can look for e.g. 'Scott, Jane' or 'Rochester, Jane'. Both will take you to a full biography.
# If you have an address search on that e.g. 'Cruddas Terrace' or more specifically '1 Cruddas Terrace' (no commas).

==Disambiguation==

In the case of family history particularly locally, you will often come across several individuals with the same name e.g. George Armstrong. On this WIKI we differentiate these common names in the following manner.

# The first instance of the name encountered in our research will be recorded under the page 'Armstrong, George'.
# This will not always be the oldest recorded instance - just the one we first came across.
# Subsequent variations of the name will use the birth year to differentiate the page title e.g. 'Armstrong, George b 1879'.
# Further methods will be used to differentiate beyond that as required.
# If you are therefore searching for 'George Armstrong' it is suggested you use the [[:Category:People|People Category]] to search for and examine all instances of 'George Armstrong' until you are satisfied you have found what you want.
