The first time they had obviously not read my email, so I have complained again". --- There are some pretty awful transcription errors, because when you get the image the enumeration is correct. A tip, if you're not sure whether an entry is yours or not, note down the enumeration number and do another search with no names, just the enumeration number. Seeing the full list will help you make your mind up whether it's your family or not. As far as the redaction goes, I have a feeling that that has been done by the National Archives as I think non FMP subscribers have to contact them for correction. If you subscribe to FMP and report transcription errors they will investigate and fix them if necessary, from memory it will be up to three weeks before it would be fixed, but I've had emails from them in the past to say that my corrections have been actioned once they were pointed out.

    3. If you want to see the surrounding entries on a page, use advanced search and enter the piece and item number (the second and third parts of the archive reference). The last part of the reference is the line number and will be different for every person on the image.
