Assuming all 'record' elements are children of 'data' elements:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' version='1.0'>
    <xsl:output indent='yes' />

    <xsl:apply-templates match='record'>
        <xsl:element name='record'>
            <xsl:attribute name='title'>
                <xsl:value-of select='@title' />
            </xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:element name='Forename'>
                <xsl:value-of select='@Forename' />
            </xsl:element>
            <xsl:element name='Surname'>
                <xsl:value-of select='@Surname' />
            </xsl:element>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:apply-templates>

    <!-- etc. -->

</xsl:stylesheet>

                              HTH.
