What are these numbers?
« on: Sunday 26 November 23 13:53 GMT (UK) »
At Internet Archive, I've been looking through the book Waterloo County to 1972: an annotated bibliography of regional history by Elizabeth Bloomfield.
At the top left of page 616 (link: https://archive.org/details/waterloocountyto00bloo/page/616/mode/1up?view=theater) are the names of my Delion ancestors: Fred, Henry and William.  I am confused by the numbers after their names. Could someone please let me know what these numbers are referring to? This book itself contains a total of only 734 pages, so numbers like 2808 and 4525 obviously refer to something else.
Many thanks for any help.

Regards,
inor

It's a bibliography - a listing of books. I think the numbers are references to the books in which they are mentioned:

2808: https://archive.org/details/waterloocountyto00bloo/page/273/mode/1up?view=theater&q=2808

4525: https://archive.org/details/waterloocountyto00bloo/page/439/mode/1up?view=theater&q=4525
