Hello all, I'm transcribing 1907D4O0233. At the bottom of the middle column, there is a handwritten entry & it's clear where to insert it. I have transcribed it: OXBY, SAnnie Chester le S.,10a 362a. The only way I could figure out the district was because of the entry before. There seems to be an obvious S in front of Annie, so I transcribed it thus. That puts me out of sequence (hate when that happens!). Does anyone know what that could be besides an "S"? I thought that the first Annie entry (aged 25) might be a mother who died in childbirth with twins, but would the death of twins be registered on two different, widely spaced pages? Thanks for any help, Wanda
Hi Wanda, It looks like a flourish on the cross of the A to me, so the name should be transcribed as "Annie". And twins could be registered on separate pages - they may not have died at exactly the same time. I had twin siblings who died a day apart, and their entries aren't even in the same district!
