Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Col. 6</span>: That even if the exclusion of birth place normally implies that the person is born within the same parish for which the extracts are made it is better to explicitly record the birth parish name, appropriately abbreviated, even in those cases, in the same way as it always must be done if the birth place is outside the parish. For rural parishes the county must also always be recorded.
