You know, I don't know what the b stands for -- I assume the m is for
month?, but what about the d?
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Q dates
Pat,
In England, b/m/d dates are reported on a calendar quarterly basis to the
GRO. A "Q date" is recorded as the [month] Q, [year] where the month is
the
last month of the particular calendar quarter. The date is not precise
date of
the event, but the quarter in which the event was **reported** to the
GRO.
There is a pitfall here as informants have 6 weeks to report the event.
Thus, an event might have occured in the quarter preceeding the quarter
of
registration.
