I have found errors on nearly all of my searches of the 1911 census and sent in corrections. A few as follows. Bonvilston - transcribed as Brompton My grandfather Osmond had been mixed up with his wife's details and was down as a female ..... My gt. grandmother Bond - Badmnton transcribed as Bodminton [she was actually born in Wilts., but that's another story] My gt. grandfather Coles put down Brompton Ralph as his birthplace [where he lived most of his life] but in all other censuses he was born in Stogumber, not far away. Some of the entries I only managed to find by entering the names of other members of the families. WENDY

Hi Listers, I already have 1911 census details for my families who lived in Pontycymmer, Llangeinor near Bridgend, but out of curiosity I thought I would look in the index on https://www.familysearch.org/search/ Searching in 1911 for my 2x great-grandmother, Angel Dore VOKES, brings up her birthplace as Temple Church, Somersetshire. There's just a little error here as Church should be Cloud, but looking at the handwriting on the original document I can see how an indexer would have thought that the word was Church. Temple Cloud must have been difficult to read in the 1901 Llangeinor census, too, as my 2x great-grandmother's birth place is given as Temple Eland in the index for 1901 on familysearch and her surname is indexed as VOKER. I haven't checked with the original 1901 Llangeinor census details, yet, but I have a feeling that the handwriting may be difficult to read. I know that I had a lot of trouble reading the 1891 Llangeinor census some years ago. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah The Glamorganshire Canal www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
