The other entries are different. My example, WARREN Walter Frederick WARREN Walter James Kensington 1a 159 Pancras 1b 128 isn't the same as the example below, which presumable is what you are referring to when a name overflows into the District field. WARREN Walter Frederick Kensington 1a 159 WARREN Walter James Pancras 1b 128 For the entries you are referring to the District overflows to the next line and you would type as one line. Referring back to my example, as I mentioned in my earlier response, logic would say move the name down one. But how can we be sure that WARREN Walter James doesn't belong to Kensington 1a 159, after all it is on the same line? Your suggestion about comments lines may possible be the answer. My understanding is that we would use #THEORY perhaps the experts in these matters Dave or Graham may wish to offer their views? After the +PAGE and full stop discussions, I shudder to think about introducing #THEORY. I don't think this is covered in our "Data Format" Web Page.

Are all of these going to be treated in the way you suggest? It seems to me that *if* the district has been moved down one line because of a longish forename then to treat them as separate lines will be incorporating incorrect info into the database. Specifically, Walter James Warren's descendant will be thinking their ancestor was born in Kensington when he was *probably* born in Pancras. Would the use of "comment" lines be another option? Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- *ORIGINAL MESSAGE* Hi Teri I see what you mean. Logically, you should move the 2 names down one line so that they line up with the rest of the information. However, you would be second guessing. My advice is to consider the 3 lines as three separate entries and to insert a "?" where the information is blank. In case anyone is confused by my response, the entries on the Index are thus. WARREN Walter Frederick WARREN Walter James Kensington 1a 159 Pancras 1b 128 i.e District,Vol and Page are missing on first line and Surname and Forename are missing on the third line Allan Raymond ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gypsy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: 29 October 2001 10:49 Subject: Can you help please Hi 1862B1-1344.tif has I believe 2 names out of place.

Read my previous responses, where I said logically it should be as you suggested (the logical not the alternative suggestion). However, what happens if this hypothesis is incorrect? Your alternative can't be correct as it means you have managed to get 4 lines where only 3 lines exists.

Hi Not having seen the originals is not the entering of District etc on the next line purely a method to ensure that the Volume and Page No cols are in line with the rest on the page. Regards John Researching - Hykin (Anywhere) Pai(y)n(e) from Kent 1800's Conde Salop. Anytime PS - Please leave a little of the old message to give me a clue as to what it's all about. ----- Original Message ----- From: Allan Raymond <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 8:52 PM Subject: Re: Can You Help Please > The other entries are different. > > My example, > > WARREN Walter Frederick > WARREN Walter James Kensington 1a 159 > Pancras 1b 128 > > isn't the same as the example below, which presumable is what you are referring to > when a name overflows into the District field. > > WARREN Walter Frederick > Kensington 1a 159 > WARREN Walter James Pancras 1b 128 > > For the entries you are referring to the District overflows to the next line and > you would type as one line. > > Referring back to my example, as I mentioned in my earlier response, logic would > say move the name down one.
