I 'lost' someone in Southampton in a census, but eventually found her after a long trawl through the images, looking at every girl with the correct first name. |

I am not aware of any problems with the local accent but then I wouldn't! would I? |

It all depends on how the transcriber at the time of the census heard their name and also how good his writing was, and how the transcriber nowadays sees the written word. I did a bit of transcribing on freebmd and was told to type what I saw, not what I thought or knew it to be. :-) |

Anyone from the Southampton area? My Gregory family are all missing from the 1881 and 1891 census and feel that they must be mistranscribed but can not find them. |
