I tried to find relatives and man, have they got the names misspelled. Fortuantely, I found em by looking at similar names. I'd be glad to offer correct info, but to whom and how? Makes you doubt a lot of the info there.

If you are not a subscriber then to get the details in you will either have to persuade a subscriber to allow you to enter the corrections via his/her account or use a roundabout method such as posting a list somewhere on the internet where Google etc. can find it thus giving someone else (likely to be related) the opportunity to enter the amendments.

Some census takers couldn't even get surnames with only 4 letters spelled correctly.
