Does anyone know what S Quarter means ? Summer Spring. No confusion at all :)
Edit September More likely, but then it would be a third!

No it would not be the third on the GRO website  ;D

If you look at other entries they have M /J/S & D against them

When I was looking at electoral rolls for the 1920's they appeared to be done twice a year in the Spring and Autumn so S is probably Spring.

Otherwise if they are done four times a year it would be Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. 

As far as I am aware, today in the UK they are done once a year.  Anything more would probably be too time consuming and expensive.

Thomas Jnr's birth

KIRTLAND, THOMAS  WILLIAM     LIPSCOMB

Thomas Snr's birth

The 1891 census names them as Thomas James and Thomas William.

I had assumed it was this that was being discussed  :-\   :)

Thanks Rosie Merry Christmas 2022  :)

I have a bit of confusion on this one. According to my notes I reckoned
When Thomas James Kirtland was born in 1847 in Summertown, Oxfordshire, England, his father, William, was 39, and his mother, Sophia, was 29.

KIRTLAND, THOMAS  JAMES    mmn YEATES     
GRO Reference: 1844  D Quarter in HEADINGTON UNION  Volume 16  Page 54
I wonder if it is possible to get more certainty on?
And
 W J. Kirtland

Good evening,

I may be wrong but I thought the quarters were March, June, September and December, M, J, S and D.

I seem to remember this coming up in a post some years ago.

I recently got a sub to the BNA and tried to dig a bit deeper into understanding the lives of various people. Both enlightening and confusing.

A simple search finds.
