Abraham Moore, 1911 Census

It is always a good idea to try different sites.  I can see it easily on Ancestry but FindMyPast has it transcribed wrongly which is why you won't find it on familysearch as Abraham Moor/Moore.

One way of finding lost people especially when they don't have the more common first names is just to search for the first name (as I think we suggested on the other thread) and approx year and place of birth, then trawl through the results.

Well done.  As you see, things aren't always immediately obvious, but with a bit of fiddling around and trying different things, you can get there!

Yes, I put in Abraham and Calne and then looked through and found him eventually.

I have reported this transcription error to FindMyPast, they will change it on their site but it will probably remain as Mason on familysearch

[MacGrigor]

That’s good of you rosie99.

I always report errors on F M P as it then helps others .  I don't do them on Ancestry as they only put it as an alternative even though they have mistranscribed it.

Hopefully the next person looking for Abraham will benefit from your correction
