Re: Possible transcription error

Hi Susan,

HIBBERT, Frank (of 148 Eldon St, born 1926-10-11).
Baptised September 3, 1926, by George W Turner at St Jude, Eldon Street.
Parents name(s) are Emily & Arthur (Labourer).
Note: The dates are as per the register
**********************************************************************************

This is the entry........ As you can see when we transcribed it we noticed the error but it was made in the Register so we are unable to change it.

Elaine in Ottawa.

Re: Possible transcription error

Hi Elaine, thank you, yes I remember you checked for me a while ago. I just wonder how the error happened in the register it seems ridiculous that someone could not see the error when entering it in 1926.

Re: Possible transcription error

Hi Susan,

From all the original register pages I read I can assure you that it happens quite often.

Most were not entered alone and it was just a case of the Vicar or Priest catching up with the paperwork when able.

Re: Possible transcription error

Many thanks for sorting it out. Also mant thanks for letting us know.

Re: Possible transcription error

I think thats an excellent idea - the vicar just sitting there catching up with his paper work.
It happens here sometimes when I'm doing my paperwork!!!
