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.

Thank you David, every day a learning day!

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.

Great news.

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