Hi Jon,
Just to avoid confusion and, perhaps help someone else, as one is allowed 6
weeks to register a birth a May birth could have been registered in July
thus putting it in the 3rd Q (ie Sept). In particular this needs watching
for November/December births which can be registered in the 1st (Mar) Q of
the following year.

Jim,
The Q date format was introduced to record a situation found in the United
Kingdom. Registrations are reported to the General Register Office on a
calendar quarterly basis and recorded in indices. Thus, a birth
registered in May
of 1900 would be recorded in Legacy as "June Q 1900." (The month used in
the date is the third month of each quarter.) The pitfall for researchers
is
that an event recorded in, for example, the second quarter might actually
have
occured in the first quarter!
