Hi, I’ve just transcribed some 1936 Marriage scans and am now doing some 1937 Marriages. 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.

Another point about Dudley - in my version of WinBMD, the default volume reference for Dudley appears in the picklist as 6b/6c. I have never yet come across this on a scan - and in any case it is automatically rejected by WinBMD because of the non-alphanumeric character. I have added 6b and 6c manually to my picklist, but am unable to delete the superfluous 6b/6c (for some reason, delete is not an option for this particular entry). Not exactly life-threatening, I know - but still slightly annoying. Can anything be done about it?

I believe that it is there deliberately. Dudley is a problem district, because it changed volumes, so it shouldn't work from the picklist easily. 2009/3/27 Sue Barnard <[email protected]> > Another point about Dudley - in my version of WinBMD, the default volume > reference for Dudley appears in the picklist as 6b/6c.
