The worst Ancestry transcription ever?

[Suekilp]

My son-in-law's distant ancestor George Bdrzggs was born in Robingwoods Bay, according to the 1901 index.  Not one of the 8 hints from Ancestry was an accurate transciption, though to be fair his father being recorded as Jothan Knaggs in 1851 was enumerator error.

And actually now I've transcribed it wrong; it was George Bzrdggs 😀

I was looking at a UK Census for my great grandparents and they weren't on the page that the image showed! The transcribed information listed page 20, but the image was page 21.

I couldn't figure out how to find the census that I could scroll through, so finally I did a search with no name filled in, just the same street name and a house number just before those I was looking for, and ta da!!! there was my family!

I wanted to look at the image, because sometimes there is more information than is transcribed.

If you use the back button it might take you back to the the right entry

Crozier (with a big loopy "z") transcribed as Quinn.

Not only Ancestry......I have my 3x great grandfather's baptism from the National Archives, he is named as William Magitimate. On the baptism record from Lincs to the Past, he is William, illegitimate.

That's a shocker but it made me laugh 

Some of mine are:

Caper - Capes

Boviel - Borrell

Bucknole - Bucknall

Place of birth Alford, Lincs.....should have been Salford, Lancs.

And Trunter's Assistant  should have read Fruiterer's Assistant

Looked like Teelops to me!  Hector - heavens - how did you ever work it out

Ursula Clough daughter of Phillipe baptised 1605 Welford on Avon, transcribed as Birtnla Olongh daughter of Thilliye.   While I accept that the "u" letters could be misread for "n", that really is a poor attempt at transcription.

Guessing the POB was actually Robin Hoods Bay (North Yorks)
