Richard, We run a number of Quality Assurance checks on files to try to pick up systematic errors and when we find such problems the files are reported as "suspect". We don't know they are wrong but they are worth investigating. If, after investigation, we find that they are correct we exclude them from the listing. There is a link on the Suspect Files page to report files that should be excluded. Regarding these two files, if you crtl+click on the two files in the Suspect Files listing you will see that they are both predicted to be 1839D3 not 1839D2. As Bob has mentioned this is probably due to mis-binding the index. The content of page 782 supports this theory - it is out of sequence putting 'Male' entries in the middle of 'Female' entries. Also there are no 'Unknowns' for 1939D3. If you do a FreeBMD search on 'Unknown' in 1839D2 and 1839D3 you will find that System Entries have been created to handle the situation. I don't know if we have previously reported this to the GRO but I will do so. I am not hopeful that they will do anything because I doubt they have a process to handle such an eventuality, and without a process... I will exclude these files from the Suspect Files listing.

The reason for including them is that both files contained entries with over 60% of the page numbers "out of range". > > I am curious to know why!

If anyone is "suspect", though, it is the clerk who compiled these pages of the Index. Or is there some other angle? The Deaths in question are from the list of "Unknown" or "Not Named", which may itself give an explanation. > > Richard Oliver > Madrid, Spain > richol@arrakis.es > > > > > --Certified Virus Free by 4SecureMail.com ICSA-Certified Scanner--
