Alas FMP, like Ancestry, can have transcription errors too. On this 1871 census FMP has Gavin as Garin - Ancestry has Gavin as Gani. Quantity over quality comes to mind. It's always best to look at the original pages if possible. I often use Ancestry & FMP if I can't easily find a family on Scotlandspeople. They are useful in that both can be searched using a forename only, age etc. Once I've found who I think are the correct family I go to SP. Though sometimes you then have to play about to see what SP has them indexed as! But it's usually correct - certainly they have far fewer errors.
