Quoy,I think you have the makings of a new TV quiz show on your hands!! You could call it "Who Do You Think They Are". ;-)

I can't seem to find a ref for J 2b Knee,though??

I agree some of the transcriptions are dire, I have found many with the address first!

R Holding
Electoral Year: 1929

this is for the page with J2b Knee I have submitted an alternative but have a look see what you think

I have done it by a process of elimination

Oh,I see it now-J 2tb Knee! The 2tb part is likely the messed up house number??

If you count the names on the image there are a few missing form the transcription

Strange - I couldn't enlarge it enough to spot him at all - the image as displayed, is a bit dodgy to say the least.

My Rosetta has been transcribed as

1924 - Roeetta
1925 - Bosetta
1926 - Rosettn, with husband Henry as Ttenrv (the image is a bit faint)
1927 - Ronetta

If she'd lived, what would they have come up with in 1928? :-0

Ye Gads! Here's another...not one of mine

1882
Eld Ward John Cromer-Hoisse The Park Saltmarsh.

is actually
Edward John Saltmarsh (of) Cromer-House, The Park.

They need to go to Specsavers - lol

Quoy,
Sorry to be a pain-but how do you get the transcription in the first place??

Still learning the rules of this new game! :-D

click on London Electoral Registers, 1835-1965,

put in name

click on View image


If you are not seeing the transcription
go to the bottom of the page and you will see a very faint grey box with arrows in it click on that and it will split the page in half allowing you to see transcription and image together

Take these are from Ancestry? I only have Essentials membership so can't view the images. Have found my father with his first names the wrong way round in the transcriptions.

OOOH! Got it now! Thank you! Didn't know you could do that.
