Some of the original columns are omitted from the transcripts, for the sake of simplicity.  The omitted columns contain data collected for statistical purposes.  Where such information might be relevant, e.g. disabilities, it is included in that person's 'Notes' (on the tree).  Also omitted is the 'place' or 'address' column.  This information is instead part of the heading line, which also includes the full PRO (Public Record Office) reference.
