Apparently someone on the London Rootsweb listing has been putting together a list of known errors for the LMA records on Ancestry.
A friend has just sent me the following list which I thought may be useful for others.
Codes used: C = baptisms, M -= marriages and B = burials

These are all of Northolt (in London Borough of Ealing), the 1560-1701 is roughly right, but 1700-01 also has B 1678-1724 and 1801-01 is just Banns
