	George as Gwyn said Which site are you looking on? Are you viewing the actual image ? All online censuses are copies of actual census images, The originals are historic documents and cannot be altered/corrected. Various sites do have the facility for errors on transcriptions to be corrected but GR don't actualy hold their own census records so they will not be able to correct any errors Roy
Member Since: June 2007 Posts: 21,069 Send Message	jax	Report	30 Jul 2013 23:42
	I think you can email GR with transcription errors

Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 464 Send Message	They just said they had many volunteers try them as I used Find Ancestry many time before I thought there may be different people on here who may have chatted about transcriptions before.

	George the same people that have posted on your threads on Find Ancestors are on this board and vice versa mainly.

	George You have been given the parents names for John Richard Goodwin Brewer born 1908 on your other threads. If you think these names are wrong then why not buy the birth certificate (reference for this is also on your other thread). Here it is again:- Name: BREWER, John Richard G Registration district: Fylde County: Lancashire Year of registration: 1908 Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3 Volume no: 8E Page no: 692 Kath. x

Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 464 Send Message	Same answers too unfortunately. I still don't know how to have censuses checked and changed ????
Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 9,259 Send Message	Porkie_Pie	Report	31 Jul 2013 00:02
	George, Your post asked "Does anyone know how you can have a census checked out that is obviously wrong and for corrections to be made" What census? and why do you think it is "obviously" wrong? can you post the census details your referring too Roy
Member Since: February 2006 Posts: 36,149 Send Message	Rambling	Report	31 Jul 2013 00:06
	You can't have censuses 'changed' George, here or anywhere, all you can have is the transcription error 'noted'. eg on Ancestry I can send a 'correction' when the name Fishlock appears mistranscribed Fishleck, but it is just noted beneath the original transcription. If you tell us what you think is 'wrong' with the census entry, we can see if it is wrong just on GR records perhaps, by comparing it with FMP or Ancestry transcriptions and original images?

Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 464 Send Message	I've got the certificate with father and mothers name but I would like to have info confirmed on the censuses to correct it for other peoples who are looking for this family. The best I can do is Brower and some of the l siblings names are different on the censuses.
