Rogue Records

Names that nearly got away

BaseData has a mind-boggling suite of data cleaning programs – evidenced by these “names that nearly got away”.

These are the records that we’ve found in our clients’ or third party files – records that have slipped through others’ cleaning routines.

And you’ll see that they fall into three main categories:

data that has been captured as (mis-)heard

joke data

information that shouldn’t be part of the data record at all

And there are some favourites that are a combination of geographic ignorance and ‘typing as heard’, such as

“Sparrow in Furnace”

“New Mauled On Surrey”

“Fortneaff”

We add new Rogue Records we find every month – add us to your “Favourites” and check out the new arrivals!
