Ancestry non-conformist register confusion
I've been looking at OH's Andrew family from Saddleworth and was pleased to find some of the baptisms on Ancestry.
The parents are William and Betty Andrew from Roughtown, Saddleworth. I have: Mary John Edward Martha John James Thomas Betty The baptisms for James and Thomas appear in the Manchester non-conformist registers and I have downloaded the images. James 10th July 1800 Thomas 6th June 1804 Here is the problem: They are appearing under MONSALL Methodist New Connection Market Place. I was expecting it to be MOSSLEY, so did a double take. A lot of the families used Mossley. http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin...4+45&ml_rpos=1 They appear under Mossley on Lancashire OPC: http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html Monsall also appears to be too far away from Saddleworth. |

A lot of the addresses given in there say Mossley, so I should think it is another ancestry error. I know there is one like that in their Lancashire parish registers.

Thanks, Kate. I thought it must be a mistake. Do they ever get corrected?

I don't think I ever got round to reporting the other one to ancestry as I was too busy adding records to my tree, Elizabeth! But it would be worth reporting it and hoping they do fix it.
