What's the address, if the name is transcribed in correctly on FMP, try a search using the road name! Also I've come across members of my family being in one county on ancestry, and another on FMP for exactly the same census record!

I don't have the road name or anything else. The only info i have is what was posted earlier:

I can almost understand misreading Tyne and getting Lyme, but there's no doubt that it's "On" and not "Under", makes you wonder about the people who've done the transcripts!!!!

I had to write to Ancestry a few weeks ago and tell them about their transcription Londonderry in Warley. The whole street had been transcribed that they had all been born in Londonderry, Ireland - no mention of Ireland anywhere.
I always try and report transcriptions errors when I come across them. I like Ancestry's way of giving them as an alternative, don't know what FMP do - I find it much more difficult to find people if there are transcription errors on FMP, especially if you don't know the address.
