Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 47 Send Message	hI all, would be very grateful if anyone could look at a birth for me as i cant seem to make out what the index number is, it is very blurry, maybe someone can recognise the numbers?.It is for Arthur Henry Taylor, jan/feb/mar 1893 Kingston, 2a 3??. Many thanks, Sally

	I thought 326, when magnified to the maximum. It's definitely not 818 as that's outside the page range for that district (hence why Kingston is in italics on FreeBMD). When you order the cert, put a note in the reference checking section to the effect that the page number is illegible. You could even order it by entering the page number as 3?? - I've done that before and they've always been able to come up with the cert. Richard

	Definitely 318 ( viewed at 200%) and I have submitted a correction to freebmd.
