In 1881 there are a lot of spelling mistakes in the transcribed names of Civil Parishes.
E.g. If you look for people living at Hammersmith, you will find.......NONE at all!
However, if you change the spelling of Hammersmith to HaRmmersmith you will find 72,888 people!
Here's the list of those I've noticed so far:
Budewell (Bridewell) 527
Ciucolus Seur (Lincolns Inn lol) 25
Harmmersmith (Hammersmith) 72,888
Islinston (Islington) 6,215
Kentington (Kensington) 1,290
Linchouse (Limehouse) 20,567
Marlebone (Marylebone) 22,126
St George Hannover Square (Hanover) 26,720
St George in the Earl (East) 1,244
St Lakes (St Lukes) 7,816
St Mary Bolington (Islington) 1,394
St Pancreas (lol!! Pancras) 843
St Martin Ventry (Vintry) 554
White Chapel (should be one word!) 992
Total 163,201
- Many of the Civil Parishes that have a saints name have more than one set of records - one for singular and the other plural, such as St George Hanover Square as well as St Georges Hanover Square.
- The first 1,000+ records for HaRmmersmith on Ancestry appear to be untranscribed (i.e. no names, ages, or places of birth transcribed) but on viewing a few of the pages, it's NOT because they were illegible!
- In 1881 there is a county called Miscellaneous. This contains 1,245 peoples' records.
- There are Vessels where the ship name wasn't filled in, or that page is missing/illegible and also many pages from numerous Workhouses and other intututions around the country where the name of the institution has gone missing!
- There are 3,842,710 individuals recorded in the County of London. Of these roughly 35,000 people have no name transcribed at all (some, but nowhere near all, are illegible pages or those where one folio has partly covered the following one(s) when being filmed).
- Another 900+ have first name but no surname.
- There are 595 people recorded in 1881 as living in the Civil Parish of St Martin Orgur. As I had never heard of it (and nor, it seems, has Genuki) I thought I'd take a look ... That's odd, all the pages I viewed (just a few at random) showed the civil parish to be St Dionis Backchurch, which I have heard of!
- St Mary Bolington???? Ever heard of it??? No neither have I - these 1,394 are actually living in St Mary Islington!!!!!!
- Ever heard of Ciucolus Seur??? Me neither! It's Lincolns Inn!!
- I haven't bothered counting up the numbers for this, but about 300 or so people who live in the civil parish of St Andrew by the Wardrobe are indexed as living in the civil parish of St Benet, St Peter and St Paul, which is actually next door!
