"-J"


The first few pages of any of the registers should show the list of abbreviations, hopefully. J, I think, jury / juror.

Some shown here

Hi Folks,

Wonder if anyone could help?

I've been looking at the above register and I noted that the person I'm following as "-J" after her name..... could anyone enlighten me to what this may mean please?

I'm probably being really dumb here, but just intrigued.

Thank you, Dee x
