I followed both of your links. If you click on the down arrow at the top, they both tell you that they are Film # 4239223. When I look that up in the Catalog,, that film includes both years, but not for Williamstown. The Catalog says Williamstown for 1865 should be Film # 4239226. However, if you go to image 26 of 66 on the second link, it is 1865. I clicked on the down arrow after I got to image 26 and it does say Film # 4239226!
Also, my results aren't consistent. Sometimes the first link takes me to image 430 of 852 and sometimes to 6 of 25. but it is the same image. In other words, sometimes it takes me to the whole film and sometimes to just this section of 25 images.
I haven't had that issue with the second link, but I did click on a name from the index at the bottom of image 26 and then clicked on the paper symbol to get to the indexed page: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVNJ-XD5Z. The document information says it is GS Film Number000857440Digital Folder Number004239226Image Number00377. I went to the Catalog and found that. It is the same page: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6SF9-LYP?i=376&cc=1491284&cat=85492.
In other words, the second link has the first 25 pages which are identical to the first link, but if you go on, it has what you want starting on image 26.
Where did you get the links from?

I was searching for census records for an ancestral families locations and in an effort to trace their movements rather than just attaching the records it became apparent that the second link I posted was NOT 1865 as indicated but actually the 1855 record as indicated at the top of the page. I was wondering if my eyes deceived me so I looked up the 1855 record and saw it was the same. I also found an additional record for 1865. I posted it here so someone can at familysearch can fix it.
Never expecting perfection...it takes a village.

I wasn't specific enough. Were you looking in the Catalog or in Images or did you start at Search->Records? If Records, were you searching by collection or just a general search? Were the links from the Sources page of someone or the Record Hints for someone? It helps to know how you got to where you were so we know where the error is. Some errors we report for you and others you use the Feedback link from the Records search page.

Ahhh.... Thank you for clarifying RIPoole.
Last year I added a "recommendation we have for you" under Lydia Devereaux LCP2-H98. This year while reviewing the link under sources I noticed that it was actually an 1855 record that was being reported as 1865.
Hope this helps. I don't want to change anything because I don't know how many people it may affect.
Thank you !

I clicked on the url from the 1865 source for Lydia Devereaux LCP2-H98 and it takes me to this page: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVNJ-XX48?from=lynx1UIV8&treeref=LCP2-H98 When I click to view the document, it takes me to this page: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6SF9-PDN?i=43&cc=1491284&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQVNJ-XX48. This is image 44 of 66, which is in the 1865 section of the 66 images, so it seems to be OK.
