The first 1,000+ records for HaRmmersmith on Ancestry appear to be untranscribed (ie no names, ages, or places of birth transcribed), but on viewing a few of the pages, it's NOT because they were illegible! Merry (Val....I didn't realise you are psychic!)

Whoops, forgot about formatting! In 1881 there are a lot of spelling mistakes in the transcribed names of Civil Parishes. eg - If you look for people living at Hammersmith, you will find.......NONE at all! But if you change the spelling of Hammersmith to HaRmmersmith you will find 72,888 people! Here's the list of those I've noticed so far: Budewell (Bridewell) 527 Ciucolus Seur (Lincolns Inn lol) 25 Harmmersmith (Hammersmith) 72,888 Islinston (Islington) 6,215 Kentington (Kensington) 1,290 Linchouse (Limehouse) 20,567 Marlebone (Marylebone) 22,126 St George Hannover Square (Hanover) 26,720 St George in the Earl (East) 1,244 St Lakes (St Lukes) 7,816 St Mary Bolington (Islington) 1,394 St Pancreas (lol!! Pancras) 843 St Martin Ventry (Vintry) 554 White Chapel (should be one word!) 992 Total 163,201 Also many of the Civil Parishes that have a saints name have more than one set of records - one for singular and the other plural, such as St George Hanover Square as well as St Georges Hanover Square. I've only looked at London........If you find any more, please post! Thanks Merry
