Hi,
    Neale1961 has answered the question, but can I suggest you use the report issue tab, on the SP website, they will probably provide a better image for you.
The difference can be huge, and they are very prompt.

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

No, it’s OK here, unless you have further questions.

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.

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