Brian I hope that I am not contravening the remit of this listing! I find you mail most interesting in which you say the RG78 number is not essential. does this mean that the 164 Stevenson St South Shields number I have recorded in various data sets and Family tree program as RG14 PN 30293 RG78 PN1745a RD556 SD1 ED 34 SN361 Can be record as RG14 PN30293 RD556 SD1 ED334 SN361 Will every person know and understand where it comes from and where to find it if they want to? I appreciate that this is possible more to with the census but a great deal of my extended family come from South Shields and surrounding Ares Thank you for you help with this query Regards Peter Collins Cheltenham UK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Pears" <bp@bpears.org.uk> To: <northumbria@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 9:58 PM > All of which are printed on the page on the FindMyPast > site which displays the census schedules. > > eg RG14PN30017 RD552 SD1 ED25 SN55 > > NB The RG78 number is not essential. >
