Pat, In England, b/m/d dates are reported on a calendar quarterly basis to the GRO. A "Q date" is recorded as the [month] Q, [year] where the month is the last month of the particular calendar quarter. The date is not precise date of the event, but the quarter in which the event was **reported** to the GRO. There is a pitfall here as informants have 6 weeks to report the event. Thus, an event might have occured in the quarter preceeding the quarter of registration.
