Stages... that a single PIECE Number goes through

Occupation Status for the 1891 CENSUS ONLY : Column R On the Census image page you will see that it has 3 columns: numbers 12, 13 & 14.
These 3 columns will normally have a tick or an X , or it will
be empty, in one of the FreeCEN transcribes this DATA into one column. That is Column R on your spreadsheet. Please do not make assumptions.
If these columns are empty then you enter nothing in
column R. A tick or x in Column 12 you enter an R = employeR A tick or x in Column 13 you enter an E = employeE A tick or x in Column 14 you enter an N = Not employer/employee If a person is marked for both employeR and employee then please enter R 1891 Census : Column Q
Because of the use of Column R, Column Q the Occupation, has to
make room When the letters R E & N get converted at the next stage, they will use up to 6 digits. Therefore in the Occupation column Q we only have 24 digits to use instead of the normal 30 Digits. This is to make sure that all the DATA can fit into the DATABASE when it gets uploaded. · The R you entered in Column R will get converted to (Em’er)and will look like this : Farmer/publican(Em'er) · The E you entered in Column R will look like this (Em’ee) : Errand Boy(Em'ee)· The N you entered in Column R will look like this (Notem) : Carter(Notem)
