One of my rellies was transcribed as "F u c k i n g h a m instead of "Freckingham". ".
It took me three years to get Ancestry FreeBMD et al to change the entry. Said lady was very pretty which made the error all the worse.

I had an ancestor mistranscribed as Boulet instead of Doutch.

.....but then I would, wouldn't I? :-(

Oh - and the cause of this surname lived up to HIS name.
She was a widowed confectioner with 2 children in Gloucester, he was the lodger.
They never married.
She ended up with another child, who took his name (the mistranscribed one), they moved to his home town of Southampton - where he promptly b*ggered off :-|
