Hi Shirley,
If you have a look at my web pages you will see that I put a note in for the
GRO Index eg ( to use your example) Birth Index: Daventry Dec 1852; Vol 3b
Page 66. An address at birth would be under a Residence Event with "birth
certificate" as the Event Detail.
For censuses you are quite right. I do not publish the page details but I
publish the census year, the name and full address of the perinea together
with any mis-spellings should they occur.
Sources are printed at the bottom of each web page so it is clear as to whom
they belong. Additionally I noticed that if the sources are included as
separate pages the reference numbers change as the number of people change
making updating a fairly horrendous task.
I have stressed that I am not putting forward my way as the "ideal" but
merely as the method which I have found convenient and one which works for
me and gives reasonably good looking web pages. I think that there is
sufficient information given for someone else to verify the results should
they so wish.
BTW I have lived in the UK since birth, like over 65 years during which I
have travelled all over it (literally), and had to do a double check to see
what NTH meant ;-). (But then I don't use the Chapman Codes either)

>From Ron:
Thus a birth would have Master Source as "GRO" and detail as "birth
certificate" ...I do not intend, however, to publish the attachments and
they are there only
for my convenience should I wish to check something.
If I am reading your message correctly, I would like to suggest a
modification of your method. One of the major purposes of citing sources
is so that our work can be replicated by someone else. From your
description, it does not appear that you are publishing any details of the
source. (The information as listed in the index would be one way to do
this)
For a GRO example:
Ancestry shows: YORK, Thomas , Record Type: Deaths , Quarter: December ,
Year: 1852 , District: Daventry , County: Northamptonshire , Volume: 3b ,
Page: 66
Legacy detail: 1852 Deaths #202, Daventry District, NTH ENG, Vol. 3b, p.66
For a census example (from a record on Ancestry): Thomas York, 1851,
[Civil parish] Long Buckby, [County] Northamptonshire, [Country] England
Source information: HO107/1741
Registration district: Daventry
Sub-registration district: Weedon
ED: 5a, Folio: 626, Page: 33
[Household schedule number] #154
GSU Number: 87696
In Legacy:
Title: 1851 ENG Thomas York, p.633 house #154, Long Buckby NTH.
(Mills would probably say this is not enough)
For a U.S. Census: John H. York, [Indexed as John N.York], Year: 1910;
Census Place: 8-Wd Detroit, Wayne, Michigan; Series: T624; Roll: 683;
Page: 278B; Enumeration District: 112; Part: 1; Line: 17.is the way
Ancestry shows it.
In Legacy:
Title: 1910 U.S. John H. York, 423 12th St., Detroit, Wayne Co. MI, ED
112, p.278B, L51, dw248, fam306 (indexed as John N. York)
While my versions aren't as lengthy as Ancestry's, they are sufficient to
allow me to go quickly back to the record in the few instances that I need
to.
