Hi Bill You are correct re Dudley. It does seem to have moved from 6b back to 6c. I reported this to the Syndicates list to ask Cordinators to remind transcribers to be vigilent on 13th March. Before making changes to the database however we need to be absolutely sure of when the change happened. Early indications suggest that this happened from 1st April 1935 (June Quarter) but there are only a few results so far to verify. So, provisionally, we have 1 Sep 1837 to 31 Dec 1951 - Volume 18 1 Jan 1852 to 31 Dec 1912 - Volume 6c 1 Jan 1913 to 31 Mar 1935 - Volume 6b 1 Apr 1935 to 31 Jun 1946 - Volume 6c 1 Jul 1946 to 31 Mar 1965 - Volume 9d 1 Apr 1965 to 31 Mar 1974 - Volume 9b 1 Apr 1974 onwards - Volume 33 In 1937 there were several new Districts introduced. Two of those were Northumberland North First and Northumberland North Second. These are typically abreviated to Nthmbland N.1st. And Nthmbland N.2nd I am trialling a new version of WinBMD for Ian within my Syndicate (All Scan) that will deal with these numbers as we have started transcribing 1937 Births.

There are a couple of points worth bringing to everyone’s attention: 1. Dudley appears to have changed its volume reference to 6c in 1936 and continued with it 1937. It's easy to overlook this if you are used to selecting Dudley,6b from the pick-list. 2. A new district was introduced in 1937 named "Northumberland North First". This has been abbreviated to Nthmbld.N.1st. but the numeric character in the name causes WinBMD to reject it. The file can be edited in Notepad and will upload okay if you use the FreeBMD file management page, rather than WinBMD's upload function, but it would make life simpler if WinBMD could accommodate this on a future upgrade.
