Hello
Just another mis transcription on find my past - although checking the original, it could be read as below
RG10 672 38 29 Benjamin Hassey's occupation is listed as Pheeloringhs.
It should be wheelwright.

I recently found a 1921 census entry which I thought was badly mistranscribed. I'd only located the family by searching for the given name and DOB of one of the children and the registration district.

When I looked at the image, I saw that the transcriber had done a VERY good job.

I was looking up James Minett on Findmypast in 1871 Census RG10/3074/19/8/52 and trying to figure out his occupation. They had transcribed it as Lothammer.
Original though faint reads Labourer.
On the same page, his son is down as a Waffoner but the original could be read that way (really is waggoner).
I have submitted a correction for James.

Another one ....
I was looking for the House family who might have been in Bethnal Green for the 1851 Census. I found a Joseph House with his family H0107/1539/573/5 but his occupation had me stumped. It had been transcribed as exedroton.
Checking the original, it reads excavator.
Back to the search,

Is he in the Howes one-name study, with occupation?

My own birth is mistranscribed. I`ve written about this before, but to cut it short the problem was the Registrar`s handwriting !!

I don't think he is in the Howes one-name study but have only had a quick check.
The one in Bethnal Green in 1851 gives his birth year as 1816 and place as Hampshire, wife Eliza.

Paul Howes would be glad to receive any details you may collect.  He has found House concentrated in Hampshire, Dorset and Somerset.
