Reference Library / Re: Should we correct transcription errors ??
« on: Sunday 30 April 06 10:07 BST (UK)  »
One ancestor that I found had been indexed wrong, I only found it was the correct one by a bit of lateral thinking and checking the other members I knew for sure would be with him, then I paid for the image which was correct. Transcription errors are bound to happen. Maybe the original errors could be left in but highlighted in some way and a note added by the person submitting the information. My reasoning is there will be generations coming after us and it may help them to know. Does that make sense? :-\

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: New Records available on 1837.

I had the email too. I was disappointed that the search is for surname and year only. I think they should think about revising the search criteria to enable first name too. When you have a common name to research like Stewart the results are too many even with the year. It would also be good if there was somewhere to leave feedback when they add more search databases, to find out what would be more helpful to researchers.

You didn't mention what year he was born. On 1837online search of 1861 census there is an Alfred Marshall age 0 born Hackney. I have no connections but just thought I would check as I had the page open at the time. Good luck in your research.
