Transcription error -Parish Marriages

Could I point out a transcription error for the marriage of
LINDLEY, William (Bachelor, age 20, Cutler, residing at 10 ct 6 house Edward St).
Married Ellen SURINDEN, on October 2, 1887, by J W Talbot (Banns) at
St Luke , Hollis Croft . Father's name is Lewis Lindley (Cutler).
The brides surname should read SWINDEN. Also in 'Spouse match' the brides address is incorrect.
The image and transcript can be found on FMP

Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,

Thanks for letting us know of the error.

Unfortunately I do not have either the original that we would have used or FMP at this time.

If someone with FMP could check it out I would willingly change our entry. I can see from an INDEX I have that Ellen`s surname is SWINDEN not SURINDEN. I need her address.

Morning Guys,

Thanks for the help with sourcing the information.

Turns out I did have it and missed it when I checked.

Sooooo Ellen SWINDEN has be reunited with William Lindley.

Keep the corrections coming folks and then we know our database is as good as it gets.
