I am translating an Irish birth certificate. In the left-hand upper corner, there is an abbreviated word - ''COMP.", just as in the specimen below:
''(in upper left corner; with the number 2 printed underneath)
*Comp.* Y 2504
Birth Certificate issued in pursuance of Births and Deaths Registration Acts 1863 to 1952.
(in upper right corner)
Form A2
Issued under the * S.W.A.
(asterisk explained on right side)
*Here insert the name of Act under which the Certificate is issued.
Births Registered in the District of Coom in the Superintendent Registrar's District of Killarney in the County of Kerry.
(The following information is entered in eleven columns on the certificate.)
1. No. 55.
2. Date and Place of Birth,..''
This specimen certificate can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/come63
The one I am translating looks exactly the same.
I just need to know the full word.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whatever, Gary. I think it could be the record compilation number but I'm not sure, and I'm sharing that thought.

No offense, Gary, I'm just sayin'! =;) If nobody has a better answer I don't think it too outrageous to make a suggestion, and the categories "Just guessing" and "Low" under certainty level do exist for a reason, I believe.

does the document consist of two pages or parts ? If such is the case, the abbreviation could stand for <compound> . but that is a guess only.

while the above message was being posted, the main word, i.e. < COMPOUND > (consisting of two doc.parts) disappeared. Here it is.

Note from asker:
No, the certificate is just one, single sheet of paper. Thanks. |
