1911 transcription help please.
« on: Monday 21 March 22 16:43 GMT (UK) »
Ive found my great aunt in the 1911 census on FindMyPast, but when I search Ancestry for the same record I cant find it. Obviously its been transcribed as something else, but Ive tried all sorts of mis-spellings and mistakes but nothing.

Could someone tell me what to type in to find this records please.

Ernest Wykes, Head, 36, Engineer, born Leicester
Amy Wykes, Wife, 33, born Belgrave
Esther Stevenson, Servant, 18, born Kirby Muxloe.

Address is 32, West Avenue, Leicester.

Thank you.

Have you tried Family Search?  Curiosity - If you have all the details from FindMyPast why do you want the Ancestry one as well?

Yes the census return is transcribed as Wyres, and the summary book entry as Sykes.

All entries have been corrected by someone
The hand of the enumerator leaves something to be desired.
Having done some transcribing I think I may have struggled with that one.

It looks like Ernests writing not the enumerators
