That would fit for the baptisms as no info is entered apart from child's name. Thanks

Yes that is what I do but from a personal perspective I like to know what it means and can add this in transcriber's comments

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: Malton Workhouse Birth
« on: Friday 24 March 17 14:44 GMT (UK)  »
Unfortunately there are no records for the Malton Workhouse.  I have a similar birth and have been to all the archives in York, Malton, Northallerton with no success.  When asked all say nothing exists.
The workhouse is now part of Malton firestation!

The Common Room / Parish register abbreviations

I am transcribing resisters for FreeReg and have a couple of abbreviations which I cannot work out.
One is in baptisms and is 'adve', the other is in burials and is 'avence'.  What do they mean?
Bright ideas anyone?

Very few records for Crumpsall exist. Manchester Archives had none the last time I tried for them a couple of years ago. I have another chat running as I'm trying to find the census data for the C Wkhs in 1891. You don't happen to have it ?

Too many options, as it's Manchester. Literally hundreds of individuals called William and Thomas with matching approx bods

Lancashire / Crumpsall/Prestwich Workhouse.

I believe my grandfather and his brother were there in 1891 but because of a complicated parentage, I don't know under what surname.  I think the only way is too look for two brothers with matching ages but I can't find the census entry on ancestry without a name or RG ref. Can anyone help with this.
Many thanks Anita

I have a new copy of a booklet A History of Crompton and Shaw Pubs (duplicate gift) £4.25. An excellent resource for any locals and those with publican ancestors in area.
