Info Re- 1871 census error
« on: Tuesday 01 February 05 20:45 GMT (UK) »
For general info. 
If anyone is researching families in the Pelton or Urpeth area of County Durham, please check the original census page. 
I have found that in some cases Urpeth has been transcribed as Urpeath and Pelton has been transcribed as Peeton or as Petton.
I nearly missed an ancestor because of Petton given as birthplace.
Hall, Sharp, Mewes, and Robson.
in the Pelton, Chester Le Street and Morpeth, Northumberland area
