Thank you again!
will fire off an email to them in a bit... the one on GR is of a Great Western railway station and there are no 'Brown's living there at all! doesn't even look like a 1911 census entry to be honest!
will let you know when i get the email.

Email on it's way :) Only too glad to help.

Edit - if the image sent isn't the one on GR, you could try telling them. Don't know if it will do any good, but one can but try!

Hi all,
I wonder if someone can advise,
Am i right in thinking that genes have linked up the incorrect original image for this person in 1911 census?? can't find her on there!!
it's Henrietta Brown born 1866 Denchworth Berkshire, living Faringdon... They have transcribed her but it doesn't fit the image as far as I can see... maybe i'm going mad!
