Indexed records do not tally with image in screen, rather the next one

I am reviewing the above batch of records for 1842. The indexed data in front of me does not tie up with the image in front of me, rather when I look at the next few images in the RHS window I see that the indexed details tally up with the next image in line, not the one in my main window. Possibly the images are out of sync? What do I do? If I re do the indexed records in front of me from fresh, then the image that was indexed will presumably not be retained as I will presumably have to bin those details?

In the meantime until I receive an answer I will hold on to the batch. Thanks

    I have looked at this batch and found this:

    The indexer has indexed names from other images, also the system has given the indexer 90 entries but there are only about 18 people to be indexed. Most likely the indexer did not understand, or had little experience on indexing this type of batch.

    It would very much appreciate that if is not much work for you to correct each entry with the correct names, dates and place , also delete the extra necessaries entries the system has given before submitting the batch.

    Or if it is laborious for you, you can return it for re indexing.

    OK I will have a look at this later in the day and try to adjust/correct the entries to match image in the main screen.

    I was worried that the indexed information once deleted would not be included at all, as it does seem to match the information on the following image to the right. Leave it with me.

    Thanks for coming back to me so promptly.
