Re: Transcription error

Hi Karen,

Not at all, this is what we do. Change transcriptions where its deemed to be our mistake.

I have already changed it and will leave it as #6.

I have looked at our database for page 966 and there are very few "one" so it wouldn't take long to check. I keep a copy of the originals when we transcribe them but in this case its a copy of the transcription that didn't help me at all.

So I am throwing it back in your court to check with Sheffield Archives what it actually says on the original page.

Re: Transcription error

Hi Elaine

And a superb job you all do too!
As Rich has said what he has and the death certificate I have says 16 too I'm going to take it as read.
I've also had someone who has looked in the directories for me and they have number 16 as being a fish and chip shop so it all makes sense.
Also if you look at the burials from same address option here on the burials database a previous tenant of 16 Langsett Road was also dealing in fish.
Thanks so much for your help.
Karen x
