Hi, I've had a query from a transcriber about the entry on this page for SENIOR, Roy H.C. which has alternative Spouse's surnames - something that's pretty common in these 1958 marriages. As is nearly always the case the alternative Spouse's surnames MAY or McCARTHY spread onto two lines. However, what's unusual about this entry is that the second line also has a double dash in the Surname column (repeating the surname SENIOR), and the word Roy in the Forename column. I've advised the transcriber to treat the entry for SENIOR, Roy H.C. in the normal way for entries with alternative Spouse's surnames, and then add another transcription line for SENIOR, Roy with all the other fields transcribed as question marks to show they're blank, like this: SENIOR,Roy H.C.,MAY,Bristol,7b,358 #COMMENT(2) Entry reads MAY or McCARTHY for Spouse's surname SENIOR,Roy H.C.,McCARTHY,Bristol,7b,358 SENIOR,Roy,?,?,?,? I know that doesn't absolutely adhere to TWYS, but it seems to me to be the best compromise taking into account what the original typist intended and trying to provide the most complete and accurate transcription for our end users. Has anyone got any better ideas ? Cheers, Mike Ian Brooke syndicate co-ordinator
