    This is what I think has happened to one of my families on 1851. Determined to find them eventually.

          As I transcriber Val, I can sympathise with you but also the Transcriber who with all the will in the world is not perfect. I shudder to think what inconvenience my mistakes will cause and hope I can be forgiven.

            I know how easy it is to transcribe rubbish. I once did that off my own handwriting: the info went in through my eyes and out through my hands, but I don't think there was much involvement of my brain, or I'd have noticed that something was wrong!
