Hi there. There is a newer edition of win BMD which has most of them, there are some new districts  A lot of the old districts are now abreviated on the pages , so we have to do that ourselves. It would be better if they notified us of updates.I only found out because my computer crashed, and I had to redownload.!!

He was registered under his mothers surname but his parents married a few weeks later. When he was going to be married he went to Durham and registered himself with his father's name. So he now appears as a late entry under his father's surname and still shows under his mother's surname. There is a third reference in the year that he changed his birth registration. Susan

Hello everyone One of my volunteers has asked me about a handwritten addition in March 1939 Births which seems to have two page references, something I haven't seen before. The page is: <URL:http://images.freebmd.org.uk/GUS/1939/Births/March/ANC-05/A-J/1939B1 -B-0044.jpg> . At the foot of column 2 is a handwritten entry: Barker Ann G. Fage Surrey South-Eastern 5G which ends with two lines bracketed together. They look to me like 0199/S and J73. I've seen both formats before (but not together), and have read that the first may have something to do with adoption. The second seems a straightforward late entry reference, and there is a Barker Ann Georgina in Surrey S.E., 5G, in the index for June 1973 that could be her, though the mother's maiden name there is Barker. What I'm wondering is how best to transcribe this. . . my volunteer has put the whole thing, 0199/S J73, into the page field, but it's generating a warning from the FreeBMD database and she wants to know if she should change it.

It's telling you to insert the out of sequence entry Spouge, Rheva into the correct sequence further down the page just under entry Spouge, Patricia A. There's no necessity to insert a #COMMENT (rather than a THEORY) to explain the move of the entry.
