Location for many peeps in the 1901 census that live on a "street" - location has been changed from Dublin to "Street, Granard, County Westmeath, Ireland" Most recent example, search William McMahon, 1901 Ireland Census, put Dublin in the "add life event" place box.....entries 9 - 10 - and 11, scrolling down, all have "Street, Granard, County Westmeath, Ireland" when they are actually in County Dublin. This is just one example I found today, I have seen it before but only thought to post it here today. (since other issues have been fixed from this forum :) )

    @dar barber Thank you for reporting the inaccurate place showing on the 1901 census. I have reported it to engineers for correction. We are not able to predict how long it will take for the error to be corrected.

    @dar barber Can you post a URL so that @N Tychonievich has the details to report to the engineers of a place name standardization error?
