.........from someone with a sub to Ancestry.

I have FMP, which doesn't, as far as I am able to determine, offer the facility to add a note about a record unless one is submitting a correction of an erroneous transcription.

I have found an error on an image, and a note about it may help others.


1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
47, Williams Road, Burnley, Lancashire, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Moses Duerden Head Married Male 46 1855 Cotton Tape Labourer Colne, Lancashire, England Transcription
Ellen Duerden Wife Married Female 47 1854 - Burnley, Lancashire, England Transcription
Nathaniel Duerden Son Single Male 16 1885 Cotton Twister Burnley, Lancashire, England Transcription
James Duerden Son Single Male 14 1887 Reacher In (Cotton Mill) Burnley, Lancashire, England Transcription

***********Joseph Duerden Father-In-Law Widower Male 78 1823 Mechanic (Screw Maker) Burnley, Lancashire, England Transcription
*********** on the image the surname has been dittoed by the enumerator, but the man's surname was actually TATE

If a note to that effect could be added on Ancestry, I would be much obliged

That would be really helpful, Gins. Thank you for your kind thought

I wonder why they got it so wrong, as it's been transcribed correctly on LancsOPC site

I've added a correction

To be honest, the transcriber that got it right for FMP must have fantastic eye sight

I would never have got it right!

Edit: I've added another correction on his marriage to Martha Wroe, he's listed as Mores Duerden!
