How these locality associations are recorded

Membership includes either stored locality field, preserving disagreements between the original and cleaned wording. This is a union of source assertions, not an adjudication. This locality is distinct from a province bearing the same name. First-work fields can include apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service; they do not universally establish a first Post and Telegraph appointment.
