SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Births March 1845


A special case applies regarding  the four added digits that complete the 1845 Births transcription filenames. 

Where the two letters in the centre of the scan read "A-G" , no special action is required. Use the group of four numbers at the end of the scan filename without adjustment.

Where the letters in the centre of the scan name read "H-P", the first number of the group of four should be increased by 2 thus "0111" would be come "2111" and "1234" would become "3234".

Where the letters in the centre of the scan name read "P-Z", the first number of the group of four should be increased by 4 thus "0111" would be come "4111" and "1234" would become "5234".

This is necessary because there is insufficient space within the file name to differentiate between the various groups of scans within the overall batch
