Just recently I have come across markings on various scans that show entries to be out of sequence. As these markings may have been made by people other than the original scribe I have transcribed the file as it is shown. Whereas with handwritten entries at the end of columns I insert them where there is an insertion point shown. Can someone please confirm that this is the correct procedure. Thank-you Keith

Can you give specific examples - giving page reference? If these are 1860s marriages they used X X marks to show where entries needed to be re-arranged.
