I've just come across a couple of howlers in FMPs census transcripts. The show the people involved as being born in "Preston, Dorset". It looked odd as they were pure Lancastrians. The problem has arisen when the -do- for "dittoing" the county (Lancashire) has been transcribed as Dorset. I wonder how many of thse there are scattered amongst the various counties. -- BobC ========== Change "null" to "news" in reply address.
