Dear Aileen:

Thanks for letting all of us know about the errors.  You are right--there are a number of transcription errors in the records.  I believe that you can report them -- particularly with regard to the transcription work that the National Archives has done.  Will you do that as they will correct the information?

Many thanks for your eagle-eyes!!  It's a huge help to people.  There is nothing worse than following wrong information.

All the best,

Jane

Hi Jane,

All errors have been duly reported.  Unfortunately the Nationla archives do not have the facility to upload their corrections very often.  They recently uploaded corrections to the census records - and some of the reports I've made in the past have been corrected, however, from the talk given in the National Library last Thursday, I won't hold my breathe awaiting further corrections.

The National Archives are fantastic and their online resources are excellent.  Unfortunately they don't have the budget or the resources to complete all their plans for their website.

Regards,

Aileen
