Glad Im not the only one.

Wrong names on the page but correct ones on the image

Same here. Did a look up for skippers and got a whole lot of one name, not skipper like everyone in the house named George Bates or derivatives of with up to 10 in one house.
Very weird.

I have found one just now & that was on the 1851 too

Something very odd going on at ancestry for the last week or so, I only get in sporadically.

I had a few of those today too! Thought it was a lazy transcriber losing the plot!!!!!

Me too!!!! - a Lancashire one !

As someone has said, the images are O.K. but something has gone strange today!!
