Add a GRO Index Source Citation to an birth, marriage or death with GRO reference in Where Within and additional information in Text from Source; event is created or optionally updated with the date and/or place. Options include setting birth date from Age, year of birth or date of birth from a Death citation and adding a citation to the birth mother’s name (creating the mother’s record if required) from a Birth citation.
Each event (Birth, Marriage and Death) has a dedicated form with just the fields relevant to that event. The forms have fields for all the possible GRO reference items which are then included in the Where Within Source with user specified labels.
Where the event already exists, a dialog shows the existing date and place and the date and place for the citation being created and allows the user to choose whether to update the date and/or place or just add the citation.
Note that this plugin is for use with ‘lumped’ sources whereby multiple citations are created pointing to a single source for each event type (birth, marriage of death) or a single source for all GRO citations.
