How to remove yourself from freereg.org.uk
Volunteer-transcribed UK parish and non-conformist register data — baptism, marriage, and burial records, historically sourced (mostly pre-20th-century). Not a commercial people-search broker; a nonprofit historical-records transcription project.
Owner / network: FreeUKGEN (the charitable trust behind the "Free" family of UK genealogy projects — FreeBMD, FreeCEN, FreeREG)
Removing yourself, step by step
- 01
Locate the specific transcribed record (parish, year, entry) on freereg.org.uk.
- 02
Contact the relevant county's "Corrections Coordinator" (listed per-county on the site) to request a correction or, in rare cases involving a living person mistakenly included, removal.
- 03
Explain the specific privacy concern; note that FreeREG's stated process is oriented toward transcription accuracy, not privacy takedowns, so expect limited flexibility for genuinely historical entries.
Data brokers re-list. Check again in 30–60 days.
Re-listing risk for this site: Low — static historical transcription project, not a refreshing scrape
