Is it common practice to notify Ancestry if you think the transcription is incorrect?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help request - deciphering place names Scotland

Bit of a breakthrough!
I requested a clearer copy of 1871 Census for Edward McArthur, and noticed that the three step children's surname, which I though was Brown, and has been transcribed as Brown, could actually be Provan.
Since then I found Elizabeth Provan in Airdrie, and her mother Elisabeth McArthur (Maiden name Clarkson) was married to a John Provan before her marriage to Edward McArthur.
My thanks to David Nicoll for the suggestion.

Would this thread now be better being moved to either Renfewshire or Lanarkshire forum?
How do I do that?

No only Duncan McArthur and Isabella McColl in July 1863, which is too early.

Jeanie Fleming Brown has her mother as Isabella Brown, Domestic Servant. Is Isabella a recognised version of Elisabeth??
24 Feb 1863 and Illegitimate.
Mothers address 106 Gallowgate Glasgow.
There is also an amendment, interesting, Duncan McArthur was married to Isabella afterwards

Yes thats him, I wondered if "Roberts" was significant.

John Roberts Brown, born 14 Nov 1858, Illegitimate, mother is Elisabeth Brown a Winder.
She resides at Green St Calton Glasgow when he is born.
He is born at the "Lie in Hospital" in Glasgow, which we think is Glasgow Royal Maternity in Rottenrow.
