I have the following information :
"Registered living in Dagenham, Essex, Harriet L Jones dob 19 Oct 1916 living with her husband George R W Jones dob 8 Oct 1908, French polisher.
Written in green ink above/next to Harriet's entry: Brown nee Murray (I think). In the address column in green is written: CR 283LNC 29 9 85.
Written in black ink (v faded) 19 10 ?, underneath 22449 and possibly a 1 or a 7."
Please can someone tell me what the green ink and faded black markings mean? Many thanks.

Green annotations would normally include a 3 letter area code -where the adjustment was made and a date

Sorry I got distracted ::)
CR283 must be an amendment code used by the NHS, it seems to appear against entries where surnames have been changed by marriage. Did Harriet marry a Brown in 1962. It is possible that it would have been picked up when she attended a doctor or hospital in 1985.
There appears to be another area code in the faded black ink but I am not allowed to disclose what that information is (sorry)

Thank you/diolch. Harriet's husband did not die until June 1980 but I suppose she could have divorced and married a Mr Brown in 1962. I thought maybe she married a Mr Brown in 1985. The interesting thing is there are two death records, identical, except one is for Harriet L Brown and the other for Harriet L Jones:
Registration Date: May 2004
Registration district: Dacorum
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Dob for both Harriet's the same! I feel more research needed.

I can't see anything on the image which would hint at 1962, just the 1985 mentioned.
There is a marriage in 1985 at Barking & Dagenham of a Harriet L Jones to a Charles W Brown.
There's also a death in 1990, again at Barking & Dagenham, of a Charles Brown of about the right age. It may be that many people, including the informant, still knew her as Jones.

I missed that one ;D

Yes I have seen that marriage listed officially. I have emailed other family members to see if they remember/know anything about a second marriage before I consider ordering a certificate or two. I do though (thanks to your pointers) now understand what the annotations can/do mean.
