Amongst over 4 million current entities in UKCH, there are just 2 incorporated in England and Wales and 2 in Scotland with type “other”. Each has a creation_date of 1900-01-01, which is probably not the truth. Each has been restored to the register by order of the court. Please can UKCH investigate when these companies were actually incorporated and what is their type, based on their articles of association? With the single assumption that company numbers are allocated in order of date of incorporation, I have inferred the date or range of incorporation dates by looking at those of the nearest live incorporation numbers. They are:
Also found (in the data dump) with incorrect date of incorporation / creation (WebCHeck lists this as “unknown” so I guess 1900-01-01 is the default for this):
THE COMPANY OF PROPRIETORS OF THE HEREFORDSHIRE AND GLOUCESTERSHIRE CANAL NAVIGATION - ZC000200
(for what it’s worth the county contains both value and postcode: “LONDONWC1X 8JX”.)
THE COMPANY OF PROPRIETORS OF THE LEOMINSTER CANAL NAVIGATION - ZC000199
To give context ZC000202 has value 22/04/29 and ZC000198 has value 31/08/94. The odd thing is that data dump gives values at all, as WebCHeck lists the dates for these two as “unknown” also.
