This is for anyone searching the 1841 census on A***** for a person who they expected to find in St.Alkmund, Derby and cannot. I've just found pages in District 11 where the transcription errors are numerous, not helped by very bad handwriting. Knowing some of the common surnames used in the area, I can see many that appear to have been indexed incorrectly. I usually only submit corrections for known persons/families, and I don't really want to compound errors for these unknowns by doing the same. It maybe worth cross-checking on other sites that carry the 1841 census to see if your missing ancestor magically appears.
