The problem here is that the transcribe can't type what they see. The transcriber is working on a page from 1956 where the district number is in the format 9z and the late registration was done in 1975, after the district number format changed. Their problem is that normally WinBMD doesn't let you just type what you see for the district number, it expects all the districts to be of the same format.

It is unclear as to which of the previous responses you own response is referring. I can't quite see the relevance of the District Alias liaison team being involved in picking up and sorting any problem caused by not transcribing the volume code of 33 for District Sandwell. The record itself is a late entry which appear in the March quarter of year 1975 (i.e derived from M'75). Therefore the correct approach to the original query is to TWYS, which means you type 33 for the Volume Code. I gave a workaround to the problem if WinBMD would not accept 33 for the Volume Code.
