What if I find find an error in the 1901 Census?
Please make sure the error is not in the original census. One of the most common errors is the misspelling of a name by the original enumerator. The index reflects the historical document and cannot be modified to suit our beliefs of what “should be” there, so these errors must be left as they are. In come cases the transcriber made an error interpreting the enumerator’s handwriting or a simple typo and we encourage you to report this type of error so it can be corrected. To report an error on a page look for some red text near the top of the page with a link in the middle: -> If you find a transcription error on this page please use the proof page to verify the error is in the transcription and not the original, and then report it. Click on the link and follow the instructions. There is a link to detailed help at the top of the proof page if you should need it.
