	Hi Lorraine I think the 'add' means that it hasn't been transcribed, although with the England 1841 it wouldn't be listed. Is that the same with Irish ones? It is a standard format applicable to all census. If you saw something missed off from the image or incorrect, you can use the 'add' to transcribe the details. The correction would show up in brackets on the summary transcription page and possibly help other researchers.
