Hi Richard, welcome to the forum & website.
As you can see this particular PR must have been a difficult one to transcribe, as the note states.
To request a check of the transcription, I think it's normal/preferred to ask using the "Database Correction Request Form", found below the "Help - FAQ" heading, or from this link.
http://www.forest-of-dean.net/index.php/help-faq/database-correction-request-form

Where and when possible/convenient one of the site's staff will check the transcription against the original PR for you.

PS What a coincidence you mention the Kyrle name; only yesterday I was reading a 1930s guidebook entry about John Kyrle "Man of Ross", and was thinking I don't recall seeing his name mentioned on the forum in the three years I've been involved !

For a great many years of driving thro the town before the bypass was built, and occasional visits, all I knew of John Kyrle was the pub in Ross:

Clearly he was a good man for the town and it's people.

According to Wikipedia,
"John Kyrle was the son of Walter Kyrle, a barrister and MP. The family had lived at Ross for many generations. His grandfather, James Kyrle of Walford Court, had been high sheriff of the county and whose father, Walter, had spelled the surname CRULL which had been a common surname among the Anglo-French aristocracy that had dominated England since the time of the Norman invasion in 1066 and a name which gradually disappeared with the Anglo-French aristocracy's Angloisation. James Kyrle's wife, Ann, was the sister of Edmund Waller, the poet, and her maternal uncle was the English statesman John Hampden.

John Kyrle was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, and studied Law, but did not qualify and having succeeded to the family property looking over the market square at Ross he lived there."
