How do I get a source record (in this case England and Wales 1841 Census) corrected?
See John Cross L22S-MQB - one of the source records connected is for his 1841 UK Census details.
'Event Place (Original)' is shown as : St Michael, Lancashire, England
This has been transcribed for 'Event Place' as: Toxteth Park St Michael, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom. This an actual real place within Liverpool UK, but based on other info cells for this source records it is not likely to be the correct 'Event Place'.
Residence is shown as Catforth, and Registration District as Preston and Parish shown as St Michael, which I believe would intend to mean St Michael's on Wyre.
'Event Place' would perhaps be better catalogued as Catforth, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom?
'Parish' would perhaps be better catalogued as St Michael's on Wyre?
What I believe is an issue with 'Event Place' doesn't only affect John Cross, but also affects all persons listed on this particular 1841 UK Census record.
Would appreciate your advice? Thanks.

@Steven Jenkinson Thank you for reporting the event place error in the England and Wales Census, 1841. This is an example of auto-standardization gone awry. We will get it reported to engineering for correction. Meanwhile, we suggest you use the Edit option you can see in the dark bar at the top of the record details page to fix the place for your own ancestors.
