Ancestry is riddled with transcription errors - many much worse than this one. If you cant find someone you just have to unset "Exact matches" and then trawl through page after page. It's also worth trying spelling errors of your own. It's a pity that Ancestry dont give you option of flagging which of the data you are sure about (in this case the dob and parents names) and which you are unsure of (in this case the surname because when you cant find it you suspect a transcription error) |
