Andrea I have been looking for months for myggreat Aunt Katherina Gregory.No marriage nothing.Inever thought of looking at the census for a mistranscription.Her name wasn't Katherina.It was Rechabina.I found a marriage but on the census she was Emily.It took me ages to sort it out!!I am just going to prepare dinner.Takes longer to prepare than to cook!!

With illiteracy,misspelling ,middle names used and mistranscription it's a wonder we ever find anyone!! Enjoy your dinner!

I tried a comparison on 1861 census. Ancestry gave me 12 names, 1837 gave me 106 and they were all different same with 1891 census.Ancestry 9 names 1837 24 names..I cant understand why they are so different.These were free searches.
