Transcriber's notes
Hi BorthwickFirst things first, abbreviations: almost all abbreviations are transcribed thus, abbr. [abbreviation] so on this page Revd. [Reverend], William Boyd Corp. R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers] Compass points are also expanded in brackets, N. [North], S. [South], etc.
If you click on the 'Transcription Guide' tab and then scroll down to Abbreviations (in blue) you will find a useful list of abbreviations and their expansions.
There are some exceptions to this rule; Christian names are expanded in full without brackets, eg. Alex is transcribed as Alexander, Geo. transcrbed as George. [no brackets]
Certain abbreviations are NOT expanded in any way, these are; Mr, Mrs, Miss, Messrs., Esq. etc. &, they are transcribed as seen. There is a list of these in FAQs.
