How do I change the birth place of Jimmy MacDonald the second Voice of Mickey Mouse.

John James MacDonald the second Voice of Mickey Mouse

The reason for my contact is that the basic details regarding John James MacDonald's birth place as reported in several publications is incorrect.

My relationship to John James Macdonald (Jimmy) is 'first cousin once removed' that is his Grandfather is my Great Grandfather.

I have been researching my 'family history' for around 15years, which has obviously led me down many paths, which state that John James (Jimmy) MacDonald was born in Dundee.

Unfortunately, 'Jimmy MacDonald' was not born in Dundee.

Through the correct and relevant documentation, birth, marriage, certificates and letters, and our

own family knowledge that Jimmy was indeed born at –

268 West Street Crewe, (Monks Coppenhall) Cheshire, UK on the 19th May 1906. (birth certificate available).

I can also have the 1902 marriage certificate for Richard William MacDonald & Minnie Hall, Jimmy's Father & Mother.

Should you find this information useful to amend your current information I can email  both items on information

OK.

So this must be the person:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0531763/

since the birth date matches.

You will need to create an image of his birth certificate, and upload it to a site like 

https://imgur.com/

When you edit his page:

https://contribute.imdb.com/updates?ref_=nm_cn_edt&edit=legacy%2Fname%2Fnm0531763%2F

select Date of Birth > Correct/Delete

Scroll down the page, click the Continue button.

On the next page, change Action Keep to Correct, and click the blue button Check these Updates.

You will be able to edit his place of birth, and fill in the explanation box, including the URL of the image of the birth certificate.

Click on the blue button Check these Updates, and you should get a green form which you can Submit by clicking on its blue button.

Hi bderoes,

Success thank you, for your help in guiding me through the update process (never having done anything like this before). I was getting frustrated with not being able to progress.

I am currently waiting response from data editors for acceptance of update.

Thank you once again.
