I'm reviewing these entries and ran across a single line that instead of one name and data, reads

"12 slave children all under 2 years of age. The colours sem not recollected, with measles & hooping cough"

The indexer ignored the line and went on to the next entry.

How should this be handled?

The indexer did it correctly. There is no identifying information for the 12 children, so it's treated as a blank line and falls under this Instruction:

If a line was left blank, skip to the next line that has information. Do not mark an entry blank in the data entry area to correspond with the blank line on the document.
