The worst Ancestry transcription ever?

Not exactly a transcription but --- I have Nevada Death Records 1911 - 1965  which contains a baptism at Toxteth Liverpool in 1865,

I was researching a family in Bangor Caernarvonshire some time ago with no results. Finding this very odd as I hadn't had this trouble before for later records I tried just putting just Bangor and up came a whole host of results with Bangor, in the County of Anglesey. When I complained to this particular site and asked if this could be changed I was told that's how it had been transcribed when the records were purchased and that is how they would stay, but if I wanted to make an addition to each individual record I could. What a cheek

If you contact Ancestry, I am sure they will remedy the error?  After all you have the evidence from their records to support your application.

Surely you know, BumbleB, in the USA the motto is "anything goes".
Those people don't give a damn about correct transcripts or indexing.
Never mind the quality, just feel the thickness.

Sorry, can't agree    I had a problem with parish entries on Ancestry.co.uk and it was fixed.  The people I spoke to at Ancestry were very helpful.  OK it took a little while, BUT it was fixed.

Searching for a burial with just a first name and a date range, I was offered 'Horace Jenn SOX'.

The image clearly shows 'Horace John FRY'.  One out of three ain't bad I suppose

A database of UK campaign medals has just been updated.

In there I find one of my distant cousins, James Donbavand, awarded a medal for his service in the Napoleonic Wars.

His regiment? The TANK CORPS ! And the medal was awarded in 1923 - 108 years after Waterloo.

Was he a time traveller ?

I wouldn't have minded if it had been a long service award, but it was the General Service Medal.
