Multiple race in Scropton.

[Pauline_Hutton]

In looking on the familysearch website i have found the burial of the wife of William Lygo, no name given, buried in Scropton on 5.7.1731, the day after the baptism of her son. The record on the website states "race : multiple". Has anyone come across this before or know what exactly it signifies?

The image of the Burial Register can be viewed on the familysearch website.
See image 374 of 704.

Original entry for 1731:

"The wife of Wm Lygoe buried 5 July"


So cannot see where Race: Multiple comes from or what it means

All very strange.  I'll ignore it then.
Many thanks

On the Transcription Page, click on " Browse the film" top right hand corner.
This reveals 704 images of the register.
Selected every 100th image until Burial Register revealed.
Then selected less number of Images to arrive at 1731 page (Image 374).
Used Tablet Computer for original search.

The transcription on FindMyPast gives her nationality as Canadian and race as multiple.
