Do you have the reference for that record?

She doesn't show up on FMP with that name.

Christine

[debsimlfc]

1 min i will get it

[Christine in Herts]

I'm even more suspicious about that transcription when it's the only reference to that name in the whole of Ancestry.co.uk! I don't have a sub, now, but I can still see that much.

Christine

[debsimlfc]

would the ref be 4c its a census record for 1861

[debsimlfc]

Christine

what is fmp ?

[scuda]

On fmp (findmypast) in 1861 the surname is transcribed as Briens, and "Saneza" is ..... (ie they haven't attempted a transcription).

Here's the 1861 reference RG9; Piece: 3206; Folio: 54; Page: 11;
Handwriting is very hard to read, lots of scrolls etc. and the ink is feint.

FMP is the usual abbreviation for Find My Past.

The reference for the 1861 census should have the form: RG09 piece 3240 folio 18 page 8, possibly rendered as: RG09/3240 folio 18 page 8

If I have homed in on the actual reference, in Delph, near Saddleworth, then the name should be "Emma".

Christine

PS - I see that the actual name has been found.

[debsimlfc]

so shes down as saneza briens ?

[JuneR]

The ref for the 1861 census is RG9/ Piece3206/Fol54/page11


June

[margaretmarch]

Findmypast (FMP) hasn't even attempted a transcription!!

[JuneR]

Oh it differs from your ref Christine. I got mine from Ancestry

June

[scuda]

so shes down as saneza briens ?

No, just "...... Briens" as they have not been able to make out the first name.

scuda

[Christine in Herts]

I think the name is "Loueza" - an interesting variation of "Louisa"!

Christine

[debsimlfc]

so where is best ancestry or fmp or is there any better 1s

[debsimlfc]

No, just "...... Briens" as they have not been able to make out the first name.

scuda

ok thanks

[Christine in Herts]

so where is best ancestry or fmp or is there any better 1s

That's an open question, and probably depends upon what you're looking for. If you have lots of London names, then Ancestry is certainly worth a sub for a while, for the LMA (London Metropolitan Archives) records & images, alone.

FMP includes the 1911 census, amongst other records not available on Ancestry.

The quality of transcriptions on both sites is variable. I think I used to submit rather more corrections on Ancestry (for which, as any will tell you) no credit is received, other than a thank-you email.

There is a Louisa Binns in FreeBMD
Sep 1859 Keithley 9a 184

Is Keithley the right area?
