Display of ENG, IRL SCT and WLS places of birth chapman codes in Search results #937

Open PatReynolds opened 4 years ago

At the moment, a place of birth with a SCT or IRL code (or ENG in Scotland) is displayed in the search results as a blank - although they are alphabetised if one sorts them - so knowing that you would be able to guess who was in Scotland, etc!

See a search for this Ireland-born George Alcock "General Register Office: 1861 Census Returns database, FreeCEN (https://www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5904ab2be9379091b1a6ea15 : viewed 18 Aug 2020), George ALCOCK, St James Square, Lansdowne, Somerset, England; from 1861 "England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images; citing The National Archives RG 9/1695, Folio 89, Page 8, Schedule 50, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey.

And this Engand-born Joseph Alcock "Scottish General Register Office: 1841 Census Returns database, FreeCEN (https://www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5a151548f4040b9d6e20f958 : viewed 18 Aug 2020), Joseph ALCOCK in household of Joseph ALCOCK, Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland; from 1841 "England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images; citing The National Archives HO 107/10, Folio 5, Page , Schedule Back Street, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey.

And Scottish born Edward Price "General Register Office: 1841 Census Returns database, FreeCEN (https://www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5a1465dbf4040b9d6e5c0d78 : viewed 18 Aug 2020), Edward PRICE in household of Edward PRICE, Devonport Borough, Devon, England; from 1841 "England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images; citing The National Archives HO 107/2, Folio 6, Page , Schedule Barrack Street, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey.

And Wales born Bridget Price "General Register Office: 1861 Census Returns database, FreeCEN (https://www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/59058844e9379091b1540538 : viewed 18 Aug 2020), Bridget PRICE in household of James PRICE, Back Holborn, Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, England; from 1861 "England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images; citing The National Archives RG 9/1917, Folio 161, Page 18, Schedule 83, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey.

As an aside ... I think Bridget Price is the most widely-travelled name - there are 29 found, only 11 with a county of birth (and two of those with Irish counties ...

I have reviewed the examples above. Since the development of FC2 this issue appears to have been resolved. Examples 1, 2 and 3 are all OK.

However ... 19 year old Bridget is transcribed correctly as born in Wakes. Her parents and a sibling are all showing Ireland correctly. Bridget however is not showing Wales for the Chapman Code.

So it appears that we may have a bug when it comes to Wales. This file is in the vld data collection.

936 reports the same issue for UNK. This is directly related to #936.

UNK appears to be displaying properly, as are SCT, IRL and ENG. WLS is not.

So the problem appears to be limited to Wales.
