| notes | Variable reoccurs in character position 1105 (mnemonic changed from AGDC3DDE to FILLERDE for computer users of the MRC datastream) The ages at death in a small number of records (e g 0.3% of females TRACIND 4, 10, 13 on MRC92B data stream) are incorrect Jan Barton has informed me that this variable is taken directly from the Deaths Primary file. We agreed the cause is probably transcription errors. |
