Two files, 1839D2U0777 and 1839D2U0782, uploaded by submitterID bobj274, a member of my Syndicate, have appeared in the "Suspect files" list following last week's update. 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! My transcriber has Typed What He Saw, working from scans of exceptional clarity, and as far as I can see with impeccable accuracy. Since we are second-keying 1839 June Deaths, the expected page ranges are at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/district-page-reverse-map-index.html and it is a fact that quite a number of the numbers are out of range. 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

Hello Richard I think we've been down this road before but maybe not with you and your syndicate. This is what I remember so it may be wrong. We investigated the page numbers and they fit if you align them to another qtr, which one I can't remember. We looked at the page layouts (left/right and writing) and it fitted in with this other qtr. We came to the conclusion that these 2 pages had been put in this qtr when the books were rebound. I can't remember what we did about it. Hopefully this will trigger someone who can remember. cheers Bob Phillips ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Oliver" <richol@arrakis.es> To: <freebmd-syndicates@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 28, 2010 11:38 AM Subject: Suspect files...
