and submitted the correction this morning. I'd found my grandfather, Samuel Kendall, by going through hundreds of images one by one when they first came out. I couldn't find him in the transcribed ones I searched today so went back and traced the location ... he was transcribed as Samuel Rendall. I agree about the quality of these transcriptions, so many mistakes in my tree that if I didn't know what to look for I'd never locate many of them. And they're mostly very easy names.
