    1. Unknown Character
    2. Ivor Clucas
    3. I am transcribing marriages for 1849 from scans. I have come across a character which is not a letter or number which is inserted after the District in a number of cases. A number of examples can be found at: http://images.freebmd.org.uk/GUS/1849/Marriages/March/EW-02/P-Z/1849M1-P-0056.jpg On page 57 of this scan after Wolstanton (3 times), Bosmere and Tiverton this unknown character appears. It is NOT an "etc" sign as the places have not been truncated and it does not look like it. So far I have inserted a * (uncertain characters). Should I continue this way or ignore or what? Thanks IvorC
