On Ancestry I've noticed that Ingoldisthorpe is sometimes transcribed as Ingoldesthorpe. In fact the entire 1901 Census seems have been transcribed this way. So if you've been looking for someone who lived there and couldn't find them, now you might. I've contacted Ancestry to let them know about the error. Robin Poole.

Not necessarily an error Robin. Norfolk people "du different" and spelt things however they felt. All spellings were acceptable.

I have also noticed that in 1911 much of Holt is listed as Stolt and Weybourne - not sure how that came about.

Hi Robin Names change over time and are sometimes reported incorrectly, either by people or in print For example, if you check Ancestry for a William BARHAM in the 1802 Poll books for Norfolk (UK, Poll Books and Electoral Registers, 1538-1893) you will find it spelled Ingoldesthorpe in print Once a place name enters a database such as Ancestry, when transcribers start to type, it draws the place name from the database, if first entered or interpreted as Ingoldesthorpe its likely to remain as same when the next person starts to type Ingold...... they will be presented with that as the first choice If Ancestry acknowledge it as an error, it will not be a quick fix, if they do it at all it may take years To get over this sort of problem a search for Ingold*thorpe would find both variations If you check Genuki for Ingoldisthorpe you will find the wording Norfolk: Ingoldisthorpe See Norfolk Parish Links for more information about this parish. Search Genuki Norfolk for a NAME or a PLACE or a TOPIC. Ingoldisthorpe is about 9 miles N.N.E. of King's Lynn. The name may also be spelled Ingoldesthorpe. http://www.origins.org.uk/genuki/NFK/places/i/ingoldisthorpe/ Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 20/06/2016 06:15, Robin Poole via wrote: > On Ancestry I've noticed that Ingoldisthorpe is sometimes transcribed as Ingoldesthorpe.
