Aye jsphillips, Does this link to the LDS website assist you? 1928_Q1_Henry W (William?) Adams-Gladys Muriel Gertrude Crowe_m_Thetford Also the following link to the potential marriage of Violet Emily Adelaide Adams to Henry Mee in Downham, Norfolk, England: 1922_Q4_Violet Emily Adelaide Adams-Henry...

Please note that these increases in fees apply to the UK General Record Office (GRO) and not to the National Records of Scotland (NRS).

The charges applied by the NRS appear to remain unchanged and can be found in detail on their website: NRS_service_charges_2019-01

My regards, Bill

Aye Chris, Further to my earlier post, it would appear that by entering ""Robert Harvey" grave" into Google, it returns 45,900 results! 'FindaGrave' has 1,509 matching records found for "Robert Harvey". So it appears that if you only use Google, or are keen and use a ge...

Aye Chris, I have used and made contributions to both FindaGrave and GravestonePhotos. FindaGrave is an American site and appears to have close connections to the LSD website and Search engine. Whilst the GravestonePhotos is a one man band UK based website and if you enjoy one to one correspondence ...

Thank you Mike for clearing that little conundrum up.

Good health and my regards, Bill

Assistance please! I have tried both the 'Help' in A.S. and the 'Knowledge Base' and can find no guidance on 'How?' I might remove an incorrectly spelt 'image keyword' from the list of options displayed when associating a new image with a new entry. :? I suspect that the solution is embarrassingly s...

Aye Russell and David, Thank you both for taking the time to have a crack at deciphering and I do agree with your deduction that it is "Zinia or Zinnia". As for your "defence" Russell that it was "02:30am in the morning"! ;) I too am known to get carried away on these s...

Dear All, Please may I ask for assistance in deciphering the last 'Christian' name of "Madeline Gertrude ..............? Anderson" the wife of John Clark Anderson in this birth/baptism entry from 1908, Parish of Dournfontain, Johanessburg, Pretoria, South Africa? I have underlined the word...

Good morning E Wilcock, I am wary of adding my pennyworth when Jane and Mike have added the weight of their knowledge to your query. However, in my 'Project', I select View , Record Lists , Individuals . This provides me with a table of individuals sorted by surname. I can then re-order the table by...

Aye Mike, never had the problem, but thank you for this tip.
My regards, Bill

Good evening Ann,

I agree with Jane's suggested recording method and would show Mary's father as an unamed father and the 'Status' of the 'Spouse/Partner' in FH as "Unknown" that is unless you know otherwise.

My regards, Bill

My pleasure Lorna.

Aye Lorna, Have you tried viewing a map of Farringdon? The following link is to the National Library of Scotland (NLS) website and the map is overlain on the Google satellite imagery that you can fade in or out. The map was updated in 1895 and published in 1897. I know this is some 30 years after yo...

I would agree with Brian's interpretation "'Farmer of eight acres'". Sometimes, here in Scotland, usually in close vicinity to the towns and cities "Market gardeners" were also called "Gardeners" or "Farmers", when being recorded in official registers and cens...

Aye John, To date, with the majority of my entries of data into FH I have used AS. Much of my research has been into Scottish families dating from the early 20th Century back to the mid 17th Century. So as to retain some consistancy in my FH records, inspite of the great variation in document form a...

I too find this useful, when visualising 11 sibling families! Thank you Mike.

My regards, Bill

Thank you Lorna, Don, David and Mike, I understand your reasoning behind the suggestion of the word being "Stationer's" and will use this interpretation. As an aside, Don's interpretation of Janet's Mother's (Jean) occupation is incorrect. Jean's husband was a "Painter (Master)" ...

Please may I ask if anybody can give a sensible interpretation for the job/occupation that Janet Sinclair, aged 22, is employed as in this entry to the 1891 Census? It appears to be "Plahoner's Shop Keeper", but what or who a "Plahoner" was in 1891 Edinburgh, I do not have a clue...

Aye jmurphy,

That is my understanding as well and my use of the "/Surname_space/" format is just the way my discombobulated mind works.

Good health and my regards, Bill

Aye jmurphy, An alternative is to enter the unknown named brothers spouse as "Christina Hughes //" . Christina being her given name, Hughes her married surname and // for where her maiden surname will be entered and her relationship to the head of the family is selected as "Daughter-i...

Good evening "amateur", I use the method advocated by Jane and Helen, using Helen's preference for an "unamed" or "unknown" male individual, who's name and other details can be added at a later date when they become available to you. See attached example derived from my...

Good evening Mike, Just re-ordered my F:/ Family_history/!!!_Anderson/ folder, so as to have a less nested structure and "Hey Presto!" AS viewer now identifies the image file and I am able to apply 'Keywords' before saving it in my FH Project 'Media' files. It's that old problem of being s...

Aye David, I use a copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 'Standard'. Had it for a long time and don't feel a need to update it. Has all the bells and whistles for copying and pasting, OCR, markup of text etc. that I am ever going to need and then some. I have used some of the "alternatives" and 'Acrobat...

Aye Mike, No, you misunderstand. I have made no amendments within the FH Projects, Media folders. What I should have said is " I opened AS, selected the FH Project and then went to select the image from my F:/ Family_history/!!!_Anderson/ folder, from which I wished to enter the data, using the...

Good morning Mike and David, Thank you both for your replies and suggestions. NO "Commands" were used to generate the 'Error message', as in coded instructions, I don't know how! ;) I opened AS, selected the FH Project and then went to select the image from which I wished to enter the data...
