AND SOt
he answer is yes they do listen and please use the reporting systems in place on ancestry.co.uk
and describe the error simply and clearly
and be very patient

I think the future role of this board will be more peer to peer help - which anyway goes on in the county lists and usenet

BTW the age of Mantell, Catherine A 37 is correct
in 1891 they made a copying error
she is an english teacher not a pupil :-)
