ERROR REPORT - Manchester (England) standardised to Pennsylvania USA
See Historical Index Record URL https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6TX4-GPJ6
This is for "My Ann Bickerton" in collection "England, Manchester, Miscellaneous Records, 1700-1916". I'd guess "My" means "Mary" - not that it matters. The text on the index record is
Name | My Ann Bickerton |
|---|---|
Residence Place | Manchester Township Central |
Address | Walton Street |
House Number | 22 |
Owner Name | G Ellis |
Event Type | Tax Assessment |
Event Date | 1900 |
Event Place | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States |
Affiliate Name | Greater Manchester County Record Office |
"Walton Street" is on the page. "Manchester Township Central" is on the header board for the item, as is Manchester Archives. The calculated Event Place is, I presume, entirely dependent on the metadata for this collection, which I would have thought said Manchester at least 3 times (collection, header board, affiliate).
So how does the routine come up with an Event Place of "Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States"?
There are several Manchester Townships in the USA according to the standard places but that's not what's being chosen, which puzzles me. I could, of course, be wrong about the metadata.
See also https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6T62-JDDF and https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6T62-FBZM all, I guess, for the same person.
@Ashlee C. - can you pass forward, please? Thanks
