There are an awful lot of mistakes, in place names and personal names. Makes it very difficult to search the records. I've had Burton Ferry (instead of Briton Ferry); Joan Evelyn instead of Ioan Emlyn (for a bloke!); Guynne instaed of the surname Gwynne etc.

I wonder if the results for England are as bad, or is it only us "foreigners" that they get wrong

Why would you expect the 1911 transcript to be any better than those from 1841 to 1901??

Hello... Am I missing something because 1911 census keep telling me Wales is not available yet...I have lots of rellies in Pembrokeshire so it would be marvellous if 1911 was online.

I'm getting the same result, Daisy.

Ms. Tarfgi -- deadly isn't it? Mind you, some of the English signs here in Canada cause a few smiles. For example: Busses this lane. I'm still wondering whether I want all those busses or not. I thought that only happened in Italy.

You'll enjoy this:

It is obvious from the barely literate nature of the entries that many of the clergy did entrust the work of keeping the register to some parish official. The rector of Llangibby, co. Monmouth, was dissatisfied with the work of his curate, to whom he had entrusted the writing of the register in the middle of the eighteenth century. The rector transcribed the entries 'being ashamed of the illiterate incorrect dirty writing of Abednego Prichard'.
