    1. Abbreviations in handwritten scans
    2. Yorkscan
    3. My Syndicate has just started transcribing handwritten pages for the first time. In the 1856 Marriages, December quarter, page A-0003, one of the Districts appears to be an abbreviated form of Bethnal Green,1c where the Green is abbreviated to a "G" followed by a small superscript "n" with a full stop (period) underneath the "n". There is no way I know of to type this "n" and full stop in this format. Should it be shown as Bethnal Gn or Bethnal Gn. ? I have had a look at other pages in the series and there are similar types of abbreviation present, so the transcribers are sure to be asking what to do. Advice would be appreciated. Frank Hodgson
