Hello List... Replying to Peter, please see email after this one below... I cannot help feeling that I am in 'Wonderland or is it Neverland'? as regards the 1851 census on Ancestry... I concur that it is very difficult to interpret the information... There is consistent wrong spelling of names and place names. I suppose a lot of our English names must seem very strange to the people who are transcribing the censuses...I have to give them one thing, and that is that they are very creative! even more bizarre is that my poor old great grandfather is listed as female even on the IGI, I have tried to correct this several times to no avail... his wife must have been very surprized as they had several children together. (9 of them). My 3Xs great grandmother was born in 'Berwick on Tweed', but it certainly is not listed that way on the census... By the way where is 'Hinson' in Yorkshire located please, or is this also a mistake... Hinson is not on 'Where is it in Yorkshire'! Good Luck in your searches everyone... Kindest regards, Josephine, Ontario, Canada. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 10:07 PM Subject: Re: [ERY] 1851 CENSUS ON ANCESTRY > 'Lo Barbara, > > My first Ancestrey.com 1851 census lookup gave me a 33 year old farmer with > his 26 year old mother staying with him - so if everyone is aware that it > might be a bit slap-dash, (one of my cousins in USA told me yesterday that she > found several errors).
