SPREADSHEET WARNINGS :  SSCENS

It has been found that where HOUSEHOLDS go over to the next page 
some transcribers are repeating the schedule number again.

PLEASE DO NOT.  This is causing enormous problems for the Checker.

When  the Household goes over the page all you have to put is the 
NEW PAGE NUMBER ..Please do not repeat the Schedule number 
unless
it is a NEW HOUSEHOLD.
 

Column R ...OCCUPATION STATUS

The 1891 Census the form includes three columns to be marked if the person was  "Employer"   "Employee" or "Neither" 

FreeCEN Transcribes this information into a single column.

Do not make assumptions! 
If these columns are all empty then leave Column R empty.
Otherwise enter either  R   E or N  as follows:-

R       for "employeR"                         (If there is a 'X' in column 12)

E       for "employeE"                         (If there is a 'X' in column 13)

N       for "Not employer/employee"   (If there is a 'X' in column 14)

If a person is marked for both "employeR" and "employeE": enter  R
