#1045 William Giles - this entry includes information from his first registration 6 March 1820 when he was 7..not sure how to enter info.
I entered another line to capture the info when Giles was "of age." It seemed like the clerk was trying to make a new entry when he was of age? As if Giles had decided to be registered on his own behalf rather than of his mother's choosing. So that's why I gave him a separate line. Not sure if that's the best way to do it! I entered the renewal info in additional info in that new line.
Thanks. Will use the same method if I run across any others like that.
