Additional Checks

At a minimum, the possible matches should also be checked for the following details:

• Have the given names been transposed e.g. William John to John William?
• Could the given name be spelt differently e.g. Phillip or Philip?
• Has the sex been assumed based on given name e.g. Leslie, Frances, Hilary, Ashley etc?
• Is the date of birth recorded in an American format e.g. 12/05/1989 was recorded instead of 05/12/1989? This displays as 12 May 1989 instead of 05 December 1989.
• Has the date of birth been transposed, e.g. 12 May 1989 instead of 21 May 1989?
