In working with the 1790 census for New York specifically Argyle, Washington County. There are not line numbers listed on the page. I would like to list a line number in my citation, but this would be a counted number as opposed to a number actually on the page. In EE there are examples of unpaginated 10th page for when you are counting the pages. Would the phrase "unnumbered 10th line" tell someone that you counted the lines?
Thanks

Ann, you would not go wrong
Ann, you would not go wrong with either approach. Using the phrase "unnumbered 10th line" would do no harm and leave no doubt as to your intent. Conversely, if you simply said "line 10," the odds are very good that most people would understand that you counted the lines.
