I've been transcribing for nearly a year now and have found it pretty straightforward, probably because I've only worked on typed originals later than 1900. However in my current batch I found 2 hand-written "late" entries with strange page numbers. These are in 1911. One says just "0004/s" The other looks like "code/3"; I'd like it to be 0000/3 but really cannot support it!! Now there's no problem in uploading them (other than the usual warning for non-standard page number) but I am intrigued to know what the indexer had in mind. Can anyone throw any light? Chris Hughes

Chris, Perhaps you could enlighten us as to the the Scan file name the entries are on. We will then be in a better position to give advise. It may be that you have references to registrations that was recorded in a later year but it is virtually impossible to say without seeing them.

Jeremy, That made me compare the 2 entries and may give part of the answer! The files are 1911B3P0316 & 0319. The Surname is PRIOR in 0316 & PRYOR in 0319, but otherwise it's the same birth.
