Table for Death Registrations [2 November 2023]

I have reorganized your table. Text in the box labelled "Personal Information" will "run on" unless you add a double carriage return between the lines, or, if you are making a table, you must direct where you want the columns. <tr> means the start of a row and <td> aligns the columns. Although you can copy a table made with tabs between columns into the "Personal Information" box, the tabs aren't being read by the software. Extra spaces between phrases don't work either. I used extra spaces in my alteration so that I could visually make sure I had equivalent information together.

The large box in the Source area will take a carriage return. This allows you to provide the information for a whole family in a census (name, relationship, marital status, occupation, birthplace) in a series of lines. Thanks to an alteration in the software in the past year, you can copy the whole of a Source citation including its formal title and the volume and page information from one family member page to another. Take a look at John Beardsell and his siblings for an example. I note that I have not traced John and his family beyond his marriage. Must fix that some day; it was obviously getting too close to bedtime the evening once I had covered his own generation.
