In response to your question "are corrections ever made to the transcription errors in Schedule A birth records that differ from the actual registries of birth?"
Corrections to any transcription errors are normally made by the transcriber upon submissions of a suggested correction. Because quite a few transcriber have abandoned their transcribed pages, there are also a few adjudicator who presently evaluate and implement suggested corrections for 1901 and 1911 censuses; in view of the large amount of 1901 and 1911 census pages, this progress is relatively slow.
Please note that this applies to transcription error from the original document. If the error is in the original document (i.e. not a transcription error):
What if I find an error in the original census?If the error is in the original census document:
- a surname note provides an alternate surname spelling and allows the members of this family to be identified in the result of a search done on this alternate spelling. When entering a surname note, indicate if it applies to the entire family or only to this individual. Also, please include the bibliographical reference to the source that corroborates the surname provided, and if applicable, add an associated note.
