    3. I have been on 1884 deaths for some time - its a printed record very easy to read. As you may have noticed from an earlier I use Excel ... (and with ~500 deaths for Roberts in progress, many of them for districts with number 11b . its been very quick ....) ' However - I have grown accustomed to there being 125 entries per column, which with the intro line +PAGE means my columns end at enteries 126, 251 and 376. If I see a different number I suspect I've missed an entry. That has was always the case till the last batch and this one. My first column show a total of 125 (including +PAGE) so I doubled checked every column - but it was correct - only 124 entries. And this carried over to the other columns (which could be seen to visually align on the printed page, and which was confirmed once I'd done the entries.) I just mention this in case any coding assumes 125/column for checks ... When there was an upload glitch a week or so ago a message said there were more than 375 entries and wanted to reject a file (but this can happen of course if there are manual insertions), but when I tried later the file uploaded fine.
