Derek Submitting a correction request against the first invalid entry, Armstrong Emmie Brighton 2b 245 (i.e. surname should be ARMSTRONG-DASH) and then ticking "Multiple entries" box will signal to the Corrections Coordinator the need to look at the remaining error entries. On this occasion there is no need for you to submit a multiple entry correction since it has been done on your behalf.

I am not sure how to advise the following errors without a lot of unnecessary confusion. The image at LDS-211-000-0951658/1877b2-012.tif appears to have had the left-hand page transcribed in columns, but with 3 extra ARMSTRONG surnames added, effectively displacing the subsequent surnames into the ARNOLD sequence. The result is that 27 surnames have been matched to the wrong forenames, districts and vol/page values. As none of the entries on this page have been automatically linked to the scan image, correcting them one at a time could take more time than I have available. Would your corrections coordinator be able to work from this description?
