	It indicates that the Registrar has made an official correction and initialled it. The 18 means that in his book logging such corrections, this would be entry number 18. Gwyn

	The number 18 will refer to the 18th correction made in the registrations that Q at that reg office. The registrar would keep a book of corrections. Not sure about the WC (lol!)? The initials of the registrar or the superintendent registrar? merry
