You are right that OS data can have mistakes, and should not automatically
override what's in OSM now.  To resolve a difference (whether of apostrophes
or anything else) you need to use independent sources such as postal addresses,
local knowledge or histories of the area.

Rather than adding a note tag for every such case, I usually explain the sources
used in the comment to the changelog (so that viewing the object's history will
show it).  In a particularly complicated case I would add a note tag.
