", but it was something that was missing from this site and I'm glad that it is finally on. There are still many errors in the data but we can correct them as we find them (if they're transcription errors) or add comments if the actual census page was wrong.Differences for members with forum posts and those who have none.
If you've posted it's a 'transcription' with address, name, relation to head, married or unmarried, sex, age, approx. birth year calculation, occupation, where born, plus the census place piece and folio refs. There's an icon to the left of each entry that you can click if you want to report that something is wrong with it and on entries that have been changed a little clickable comment bubble appears by the forename. You can search by surname, street/place, occupation and birthplace. The form will most likely want tidying up, because it only allows forename and surname to be used together (as wildcard searches) and it isn't really clear that you shouldn't put a surname in with a street, or a birthplace, or an occupation - but you shouldn't do that because it's programmed to only act on one instruction at a time (except forename and surname). The piece folio section of the form is separate and handy for skipping to the next or previous folio by changing the number.
For members who have never posted in the forums then it is just an 'index' similar to 1871 and 1901, with no address, no occupation and no report buttons or comments. It has a very simple search which only allows for 'surname'. This is very easily changed by just posting on a topic.
On both versions of results pages, surnames and folios are links and they'll - oh this is too obvious, so I'll let you work it out.
There will always be errors and a few things need to be tidied up before we stop calling it 'beta'.
