Hi J

The vol   may (also) be mis-transcribed
The ref   may (also) be mis-transcribed
The year may (also) be mis-transcribed
The qtr   may (also) be mis-transcribed

The complete reg may (also) be mis-transcribed

The complete reg may (also) be non-transcribed

Mis-speillings but properly transcribed . . . . . 

Sorry

Ray

ps aren't I glad that those really annoying "festive" smilies have gone . . . . .
pps I don't think that I expressed a "WELCOME TO ROOTSCHAT!"
so
"WELCOME TO ROOTSCHAT"
 
[ Don't I love those smilies ]
( which one haven't I used? )
Oh Yes . . . . . .

My advice - if in doubt ask Rootschat.  Lots of very experienced and helpful people willing to help.  I was quickly put on the right track with a surname problem last year.  Saved no end of heartache!

When performing a search on FreeBMD, you can also do a download of the data.

This is useful when (apparently) a partner is missing for a marriage
Select the correct year, quarter, volume and Registration District.
You can put the downloaded data into Excel, and sort on page number.

There should be an even number of entries per page - either 2, 4 or 6.
So, fairly straightforward to check those page numbers that have an odd number of entries?
