Law family on 1911 census

[Pam Downes]

stupid me, thats how the names have been transcribed by Ancestry, not how they actually appear on the page.

Mary A Law
Wyndham Law
Gladys Law
Julia B Law

That's why it's (usually ) good practice to quote the census reference (e.g. RG12/9808 folio 1234 page 579) because then it doesn't matter how the entry has been transcribed as people can easily find it.
Problems occur when people say something along the lines of 'Louisa Smith born in Bournemouth in 1850 was living in Liverpool in 1881'. They totally overlook the fact that x company has transcribed Louisa as Louise; her age on the census equates to being born in 1847; the birthplace is given as Boscombe; and she's living in the West Derby area of Liverpool, so you need to enter West Derby as the place and not Liverpool.
Perhaps that's a slight exaggeration of the number of errors, but you get the idea. Say what the transcription says, even if the details are contrary to the truth. There's nothing (apart from laziness, or ignorance if you're totally new to family history) from saying 'although Louisa was actually born in 1850 her age in the 1881 census is given as 34'.
If you only give the transcription details you should say which company is responsible for the transcription, because you-know-whose-law will dictate that the other main subscription company has indexed the entry correctly according to what's written on the image page.

I follow what you're saying but I wouldn't want anyone without an Ancestry subscription to beetle off looking for Mary A Whiting anywhere else.

It doesn't particularly help, but in 1933 Julia (as Julia Blanche WARREN) is on the electoral roll at 108 Earls Court Road with Gladys and Mary Amherst Amelia Law.

She's still with them in 1934, but this time as Julia Blanche LAW.

She wasn't there in 1932, but other family members were.
