The record I would like to add is a 1901 census return for a father of my grandmother. In the past I have used Ancestral Sources for adding Census returns (as recomm...

Re: notes for born event truncated

My thinking was getting round to that so thanks for feedback.

I have finally got back another generation and so much detail thanks to the Toppersfield Overseer of the poor!

Nothing in the Bastardy bonds, settlement papers, quarter session records etc.

Kind regards Jonathan.

Re: notes for born event truncated

Thanks Mike that is were I thought I was heading.

I asked the question because the flexibility of FH has, on more than one occasion, exceeded my expectation of the functionality/flexibility and was wondering.

Once again many thanks for your help and time.
