Hi FreeBMd`ers, I am a new transcriber who has hit a problem! I cannot seem to find the answer in the help/advice files. Right at the bottom of the page I am working on there is a handwritten entry, other than the surname I can read absolutely no part of the entry. I have tried to insert this entry where I believe it belongs, for the fields I cannot read I have tried inserting a question mark, or an asterisk, or an underscore. But when I try to upload the page to the FreeBMD database it gives me an error message saying "error on line 371" (this being the line in question). I do not know what else to try. Thanks Paulette

For what it's worth, here are a few lines copied from a file that I uploaded without problem a while ago which had exactly the same type of illegible addition: Bacon,Samuel,St. Geo. East,1c,777 Bacon,*,*,*,* Bacon,Stephen,Sheffield,9c,489 (It's from a Marriages page, so no 'age at death' entry, as there is with the Deaths pages of course.)
