Member Since: September 2005 Posts: 1 Send Message	Searching the 1911 Census for my Grandparents in Manchester I came across the original saying there was an 'Elizabeth Lucas age 51- Boarder - Belfast' on the transcript it reads 'Elizabeth Flood '. I'm sure Lucas is right ,so is this a typo error? James and Mary Flood Daughter Mary Elizabeth Flood age 6 Regards Anne Rosalind

	Yes it's Lucas on image so just a transcription error, the transcriber has put Flood for her in error. 1911 Census For England & Wales 87 Cheltenham Street Rochdale Road Manchester, Manchester, Lancashire, James Flood Head Married Male 28 1883 Packer Lancs Manchester Mary Flood Wife Married Female 27 1884 - Lancs Manchester Elizabeth Flood Boarder Widow Female 51 1860 - Belfast Ireland Mary Elizabeth Flood - - Female 6 1905 - Buxton Derbyshire

	Just another example of why one should always look at the original image. Never take the transcription as accurate.
