While transcribing 1861 marriages, I came across what looked like Mt Bosworth,7a. Wasn't on list of districts that I have, I consulted the website for help and there was a suggestion to type ;7a Tab, which would bring up a list of all districts with that number. It wouldn't let me put the semi-colon so I was still stuck. As it happens, that exact District and Number was in the help section as an answer to another query, so I added it to my picklist. Was this correct, and why couldn't I use the semi-colon? Thanks Karen

Greetings. If you are using WinBMD you need a comma, not a semi-colon, between the District and the District number. Market Bosworth is often abbreviated to Mt Bosworth so it was probably a good idea to add it to your picklist.
