This is not a criticism of any of the transcribers. I was just at a loss to know how it could happen, I only looked at the GRO index because I had seen 1882 in the Ancestry trees.
Dawnsh I think that is a reasonable thing to do, I hadn't thought of finding the ones before and after and checking the dates for them
BumbleB, I did check the scans before I posted, and you are right the GRO indexes say what it says on FreeBMD
I will e-mail Sheffield Archives and see what they will do. If I get a resolution I will post back on here and you will all know the outcome
Thanks again for all your help

Guy just read your comments too, I am sure when I checked some births on the GRO index in Derbyshire they were handwritten and a similar date. Like you say the error could be a historical one.
