Hi Barrie and John The births this year came from a microfilm. The Microfilm for this year is special in that the whole film is done as pairs of pages where the right page is not the next page but plus three. Other years of births that are double pages are correct at plus one. The error was made in 1988 (approx) when the registers were microfilmed. Not when they were scanned done much more recently (after 2000). Barrie -- This is the only year with this variation all others are as expected (I was the scanner for scan2 who was responsible for these years) At 05:52 AM 11/08/2005, Archer Barrie wrote: >John, > >At the bottom of the scan information is the sentence "If the scan does not >contain the entry you may be able to find the scan yourself by clicking >here." > >If you follow that route and find the scan (which is maybe the route you >took) you can leave feedback of which scan the entry is actually on.
