I think Fern means the 1861 census. I agree Fern, I have found quite a few errors and reported them Sue:-) |

1837 is not transcribed, it is scans of the pages from the indexes. Any transcription errors came from the original transfer of details from local registers by those long ago. Paul |

I have come across some really poor transcribing errors on 1837 Online, no wonder I could not find my families on the 1861 census. When I finally found my Blackman household they were under the surname of Blasters. Anyway the point of this thread is to offer advice in how to find a family on there that seem to be lost. Just type in the first name, their aprox. age (select, give or take a few years), where they were born or if that is not known where they should be living. Try this for all members of the family. I know you might waste a few credits but it is worth it. Fern. |
