Duplicate 1911 Census Index Record : Thomas Albert Johnson
When working on a entry for Thomas Albert Johnson. I've noticed that two index records exist for the 1911 Census.
The links to these index records are https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7R5-7GG?lang=en (this one has Shipton Moyne, Yorkshire) which has an error as Shipton Moyne is not in Yorkshire, but in Gloucestershire.
The second index record is https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XW2W-4W5?lang=en and has Shipton Thorpe, Yorkshire. The correct spelling of this "Shiptonthorpe, Yorkshire, England" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiptonthorpe
How do you report index records where they have been duplicated and some items listed are on one and not one the other and ideally could do with a merge of these index records.
Both records have the Edit button disabled and looking for an site administrator to fix this issue.

Both of those come from Find My Past, and the images are viewable there. In general, an index without images cannot be edited on FamilySearch.
Viewing the records on findmypast.co.uk, the same census image has two different transcriptions (the term FMP uses instead of index).In other words, the error seems to be at the source, rather than with FamilySearch.
The two records have different census references in FMP's transcription, but the image is the same. The error needs to be reported to Find My Past.
I believe a Find My Past account is required to submit an error. If you don't have an account with FMP, I can report it. Just let me know.Hope this helps.
