Reference Library / Re: Should we correct transcription errors ??
« on: Friday 04 August 06 13:21 BST (UK) »
I found some of my husband's family on the 1901 census but, it appeared, that the brother of H's g.grandad had a different surname (Pappe). It should have been Pyke. Then the children (h's grandparents) were called Pappe and Poppe!
Being utterly bemused by this, I downloaded the actual scan of the census... lo and behold, they're all clearly Pyke but the transcriber hasn't read the writing correctly. Should I notify the website in case anyone else is looking for the family online?
