Joel / Joseph (General)

Fair enough, your experience of transcriptions shows again !.
My first thought was maybe the minister thought he heard Joe so wrote Joseph when it was actually Joel, but that made no sense as the same minister "got it right" at various other times.

I must admit in my few forays into Ancestry (I'm sure other sites are similar) I've been amazed at how poor such an apparently high % of transcriptions can be from perfectly legible census forms. I was confused to find many of my Longhope ancestors are apparently "from" Shropshire, I now know there's a Westbury Parish in that county too!

Cheers Slowhands ;-)
