Hi Lister's came across this one to day and it brought a smile to my face, so thought I would share - it also demonstrates the requirement to look at originals and not rely on transcriptions if possible. I was searching the 1901 Census on Ancestry for George NORTHWOOD born 22 May 1874 in Maulden, Beds - son of Joseph & Mary Northwood. The closest I could get was: Name: George Northwood Age: 26 (Estimated birth year: abt 1875) Relation: Son Father's Name: William Gender: Male Where born: Maulden, Bedfordshire, England Civil parish: Woolwich Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: London Country: England ED, institution, or vessel: Royal Artillery Barracks, Green Hill Schools, Repository, Gun Park and Observatory. Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 569; Folio: 93; Page: 14. At first glance I thought this can not be him since the father is different then I noticed that he was at the Royal Artillery Barracks and thought why would a father & son be there? Viewing the Image showed that all 25 entries on the same page are listed as sons in the "Relation to Head of Family or Position in the Institution", guess a clerk in the Army read the form wrong, since technically they are all probably somebodies son and given they are all below the age of 30 there was a good chance that their parents were still alive, but obviously we know that's not what was wanted. Like I said I'm posting this as a lesson that even when dealing with forms that you would think stand a good chance of being correct - do not take at face value check and apply a bit of thought Regards Kevin
