I've come across an Index Page which has a Vol. 10A rather than the normal Vol. 10, there's also a Vol. 15B rather the normal Vol. 15. The entries can be found at: http://images.freebmd.org.uk/GUS/1840/Marriages/March/Fiche-051-054/1840m1-W-351.tif . The above Vol. (10A and 15B) are the only instances of a combined numeric/alpha Vol. on the Index Page. All other Vol. are pure numeric. What's the significance of the additional letter and how do you transcribe such entries when using say WinBMD if using VOLUME NUMBER FORMAT 99? Allan Raymond
As a suggestion, put it in as 10 with #COMMENT volume entered as 10A in typescript following. When one of my transcribers found a late addition in 99 format to a page in XX format I advised to translate it into XX format and then put in #COMMENT volume entered as 25 ( or whatever volume it was). Someone may have a better idea.
