I noticed that you are researching Socketts in Shropshire, I am doing research in that area as well but also for a Reverend Dr. David Francis who married an Eliza or Elizabeth Sockett around 1799 in Stafford. David's granddaughter was Harriet Annie Wilkins who was a poet and music teacher in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. If you have any information on David or Harriet I would greatly appreciate it as Harriet was my great-great-great grandmother's sister.

Another one to lookout for is  S being transcribed as L.
I found a few of my Sockett family  as Lockett.

My GGG Grandfather Thomas P Nugent was transcribed on the 1881 census as Florence Niegeech....took me years to find him!

I actually stumbled across him by chance whilst browsing through the 1881 census images looking for someone else, 10 years after first trying to find him. I got my son who at the time was only 14 and has no interest in family history to read the image without telling him what it said.....he read it correctly straight away....hummmmm  ::)
