Hi Susanne Without rhe information on the scan you are transcribing it is difficult to tell. However from the information given I think you may have a Late Registration entry referencing September 1940. Scunthorpe Registration District was created September 1938 (and was actually in District 7a) How to deal with it is dealt with in the advice on the Website but I believe it should go something like this: Evison, Herbert, Scunthorpe,?,S/40 That is put in a quetsion mark for the missing volume and put S/40 in the Page column Regards Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: Susanne [mailto:rainlily@ns.sympatico.ca] Sent: 18 November 2005 05:18 To: FreeBMD-Admins-L@rootsweb.com Subject: My own district problem I'm having a problem as well, I have an entry that was handwritten and not only can I not make out the district there is no number for it and the page number doesn't make sense, I tried using the wildcard * but that didn't work.

This is covered by "Hints and Help for Beginners" on the Transcribers' Page: In a handwritten entry at the bottom of the page, instead of a district, volume number and page number there's Lambeth See S/98 For the district, select Lambeth from the list but replace the volume number by a ? and in the page column the characters as seen, i.e. See S/98. Note: This means that the entry was not registered when it should have been and was recorded at a later date. The example here from an entry in 1874 means it was recorded in the September quarter of 1898, quite possibly when she needed her birth certificate to marry and the omission was discovered. Kate.

I'm having a problem as well, I have an entry that was handwritten and not only can I not make out the district there is no number for it and the page number doesn't make sense, I tried using the wildcard * but that didn't work. The entry reads something like this: Evison Herbert Scunthorpe (Suinthorpe?) 5/40, help i'm new and lost...lol what do I do?

In internet terms, overwriting REPLY-TO settings is somewhere between bad manners and being superior. It simply isn't done and for good reason. If people wish a reply to an address they should be allowed to do so, if they don't then they should/would not set the Reply-To address. That is not to that I cannot modify the list to set a reply to address to the list.

Also if you enter the volume no, for example as (,8c) then you will get options of the 8c districts in your pick list, you may have to set it up to show more districts though.

Hi Keith, I believe the name to be QUCK. This is based on my endeavours to search the surname and there are a larger number of QUCK entries, including some based in Devon versus Quek which are questionable interpretations anyway (given my eyesight).

Hi Keith I have taken a long and hard look at this problem. My conclusion: Quayle Henry Quck Henry Sh.Molton,X 351 Queen Mary Ann I always try to believe that the scribe gets the names in order and my conclusion supports this belief. I too am working on 1849 Marriages and you tend to get a feel for each of the original scribes as you meet their work.

I think it's Quek . I also think it's Henry not Heinry if you compare it with the entry above. There are quite few extra dots around this scan. However, you must still type what you see. Good luck. Anne

Hi Keith I think the name is Henry Quek Julie

I have only been a transcriber for a few months, but I've been a member of various hobby-related mailing lists for several years. The way this situation is usually handled is to alter the mailing list settings so that the default reply-to address is the group, rather than the individual who originated the email to the group. In this way, hitting the reply button automatically sends the reply to the list. Edwina.

In that case, you can delete the "direct" one on the "To:" line.
