England / Re: Explanation of BMD entry.
« on: Sunday 14 April 24 12:40 BST (UK)  »
Not sure whether this has been noticed on the "Entry Information" related to this particular 1929 query -

Possible late entry
Normally GRO Index page numbers are numeric, optionally followed by a letter. As this page number ('See D45') does not follow this format it is possible that it is a Late Entry. Late Entries mean that the registration of the event was delayed, e.g. parents did not attend the Register Office to record a birth but the birth was registered much later when the child was about to begin work, or an Inquest after a death prevented the immediate issuing of a death certificate. A Late Entry attempts to show a searcher where to look for the actual GRO reference. Unfortunately the format of such Late Entries is not standardised, but the usual pattern is a letter showing the Quarter of the Registration [March (M), June (J), September (S) or December (D)] followed by the last two digits of the year, thus giving the quarter and year when the Registration was entered into the GRO records. A reference that reads 'see J/75' would therefore indicate that the GRO registration and reference is probably to be found in the June Quarter of either 1875 or 1975 (depending on context).

As a FreeBMD transcriber - our instructions are to enter what we see.  We are not asked to interpret entries.

Lanarkshire / Hutchesontown births and deaths
« on: Friday 12 April 24 17:19 BST (UK)  »
From Scotland's People website I can see 4 deaths in 1901 with the surname O'Pray and mmn as O'Brien - all children aged 2 and under.  BUT I can only see 3 births registered in that area with the same criteria.  Would the missing birth registration be because the child died at birth, and therefore his birth was never registered?  Or am I missing something?

Oops, sorry.  Should have added that the 1901 census entry shows only 2 of the children, the 2 year old and one of the zero's.

Have you tried searching for him by just using his forename plus birthday and birth year?  I would also leave in the option of +/- 2 years for the birth year.

RTL - very sorry to read of the problems with the board game.  Have you, or will you, attempt to contact the manufacturers of the game and ask for their help with the problems you and the family are having?  If you have any contact information, then use it!  Good luck  :)
