| Names |
The notice may have a single name, or there may be multiple
names, with a hyphen or a slash or a space.
There does not appear to be a convention for the order of the
Mother's name or Father's name, so that "Smith/Jones" does not tell the
reader which is the Mother's name. Where the Mother's name is
specified, as in "nee Smith" then it is shown in the column for Mother's
name.
Similarly for the family name of the child. Where it is
specified, then it has been shown. Where the Birth Notice Name is a
single name, then the child's Last Name is assumed to be that name
also. Otherwise, the column is left blank. For Multiple births - the names are assumed to be shown in
the order of birth in the notice, and are annotated as Twin 1, Twin 2,
Triplet 1/2/3, in the Comments column. |
| Seq |
The number represents the order in the family for the
child.
If 2 siblings have been mentioned, then the Seq will be shown as
"3" for the subject child.
Where multiple births occur, then the Seq will be shown in
the order of the names given in the notice. Thus where a sibling has
been mentioned in the notice, then the first of twins will show Seq as "2"
and the second twin will show Seq as "3". |
