Yes I had noticed this when searching for some of my ancestors and this is what the GRO say about it.
 
Q17. Why is Mother's Maiden Name shown in most, but not all birth indexes?

 In some cases Mother's Maiden Name was not data captured, and will appear in the online index as a dash. However, we have where possible enhanced the indexes to include Mother's Maiden Name where it has previously not been provided on the microfiche indexes.

Using the new GRO online search the age given for Thomas Bonnard who died in 1858 was 75; is that the right one?

If he was 56 in 1846 he would be 68/69 in 1858, which is some way off 75.

However, Ancestry has him (as Bounard) as 67 in 1851, which does agree with 74/75 in 1858.

Hi all,

Just reading this thread & I'm curious why/where all the different sites collate info. from as they seldom agree  ???

I wonder why so much errors & most of all...do they actually tell you/us that there may be errors?

I thought everything was 'double' checked i.e. by at least 2 people (the original transcriber then someone checking it) prior to publishing their info?

It beggars belief the differences on different sites & the original info. all comes from the same main source  ::)

Annie
South Uist, Inverness-shire, Scotland:- Bowie, Campbell, Cumming, Currie

Ireland:- Cullen, Flannigan (Derry), Donahoe/Donaghue (variants) (Cork), McCrate (Tipperary), Mellon, Tol(l)and (Donegal & Tyrone)

Newcastle-on-Tyne/Durham (Northumberland):- Harrison, Jude, Kemp, Lunn, Mellon, Robson, Stirling

Kettering, Northampton:- MacKinnon

Canada:- Callaghan, Cumming, MacPhee

Rosinish,

Which specific errors are you referring to that you believe are because of the transcribers?

The Bounard/Bonnard one is because it looks like Bounard on the original in 1851 - the error is the fault of the person who wrote on the form.

If he claimed to be 56 on marriage - that was probably him trying to appear younger because his wife was.

The difference in ages (if definitely the right man) would probably be because of the age that the informant said he was, or that he had claimed to be on previous censuses or told his family, so also no fault from the transcriber.
