hi Von Have mailed Carol so am waiting for her reply,don't want to carry on in case i have to leave any lines blank Yes it is good fun Ann doing 1861 darlington

Hi Ann, I've had something similar. Could it be Un or Uh for uninhabited. If there is a schedule number in column E it might be uninhabited in which case you put u in column H. You can also add a comment in column Y. If it's definitely 3b I can't help!!!! Hope someone with more experience can give us a clue. It's all good fun isn't it?????? Von transcribing 1861 Lincs

Jo and fellow transcribers Have you had a line with nothing on it but 3b on mine it is in the houses column? Adn what do you put? Ann,Darlington

Hi Rosemary We will all chip in don't worry Ann,doing 1861 for Darlington

Hi Jo, Very glad to have found this thread as I will be trying to transcribe for Wiltshire when the disc arrives. I can see I may well need help! You have already solved one of my worries by explaining how to send copy to the co-ordinator. Thanks Jo, Rosemary(Essex)

OOPPS Sorry clicked too many times Ann

Karen was it a public house or may be a big house if it is Market Place in B/Auckland Ann,Darlington

Karen was it a public house or may be a big house if it is Market Place in B/Auckland Ann,Darlington

Karen, one of them may have been renting rooms from the other? It would have been a bit cramped with 31 people sharing a house!!

this is what I got back from carol about the queries Good evening Jo I think this is a great idea but there is also a Helpers List for Freecen: To sub or un sub UK-CENSUS-SS-HELP-L-request (AT) rootsweb(.) com to send mail UK-CENSUS-SS-HELP-L (AT) rootsweb(.) com There is also a chat list for Freecen but not sure of the URL, if you would like it let me know and I will find it for you. With regard to the process. When you first start transcribing the first 5 or 6 pages (typed, contain info on registration district, number of houses etc) are not used with the exception of the first page which should contain the Enumeration District No. Then it is onto the page with households etc and this is generally Page 1, Folio 4 and yes it is a case of ploughing your way through the rest of that particular RG number. When you reach a new Enumeration District once again, the first few pages are not used except change of ED number. As a general rule we say don't spend longer than 30 seconds trying to read/decipher something. If you cannot read it or maybe just the first letter - type this in, then an X in the relevant Query column (generally after the column where the query is). You can type a note in Col Y but not always necessary as the X is sufficient to let the checker know that there is a problem. If you do have any questions at all, you can either contact the Helpers List, use the list on Genes Connected or ask your Co-ordinator. Lots of help and advice will come in all directions and I don't mind, Jo, if you want to contact me for confirmation on any particular areas. I had to add (AT) in place of @ spaces and the usual (.) for the address for roots web to come out right. Hope this helps.

night Jenny, hope it goes ok for you and you are very welcome

Would love to mate but it's time for this old girls bed. Work at 8 in the morning and I'm very grumpy without my sleep. Speak to you soon. Thanks again for the help. Jen x

why dont you join the party on chat board and chill a bit? Will only be on a short while myself but its good for a break

Cheers Jo, I think I worry too much : D

I would just put 0 then. If its there I'm sure the others will pick it up, dont worry!

I've had another look. I've gotthe piece number, then the example page thena apge titled summary and a page titled Abstract of totals in the following districts. cant find it on any of them. The closest of got is a book number on the summary page

Jenny, on mine it was on the first page I came to. The heading is Discription of enumeration district. It has superindentent registrar's district to the left and the enumeration number to the right. If there is no number put a 0.Think thats right! Hope that helps.
