Hello Sheila

I too, have 'left' Ancestry but I did purchase the Family Tree Maker 2012 and was able to download the images within the parameters of the program. I also backed them up elsewhere...

Some good comments and reasoning here. Obviously the petition is only for UK residents. I hasten to add that it is not 'my' petition and I came across it and thought it a good idea. I guess that any...

I would like to publicise this e-petition and hopefully get as many of you to 'sign' it if you feel inclined to do so.

It is self explanatory and...

Thank you. This answers my question. It appears to be a web server based program, which would require one to have a domain or website, or to have their own webserver. It appears to be pretty...

Greetings

Does anyone have any experience of TNG - The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding? I have come across it and am unsure if it is a good software program for an individual to use for...

The London Gazette is possibly another avenue to explore. It has been running since 1666 and is a very useful resource for family history research. It covers, amongst other things, honours, medals,...

A lot of useful information and assistance from you all, many thanks. I now have some more avenues to explore on this little branch of my growing tree!

No, Mutley, I have not got that far but I guess, as you say, it is a long shot. Thanks for the idea, and I shall endeavour to try this line.

Your information is most helpful olliecat and I shall bear this in mind if I ever decide to use their 'service' again. I still hope that someone can answer my query about being able to view online or...

An update to this thread as I now have (finally) both the birth certificates for Lucy and Nellie. 'Lucy' was born Violet Ivy Letts Gurney, and 'Nellie' was born Evelyn Nellie Letts Gurney. Both...

Greetings
I will assume that perhaps this has been addressed before, but I cannot see where, so apologies if I am covering old ground. I have recently purchased two birth certificates and found the...

I only got one certificate, and that was for Evelyn Nellie Letts Gurney, and no father is named on the birth certificate. I am guessing that the 'L' on Violet Ivy L Gurney will also be for Letts (or...

I think in this current climate, and the way things are in the country, perhaps we need another Guy Fawkes. One who does the job properly, and rids us of these useless thieving parasites once and for...

Ah! Thank you. I know you probably won't believe me when I tell you that I did do a forum search before I asked the question, but probably didn't 'search' the right way. Never mind...............

1891 census transcription details for: 36, Coventry Street, Preston, Hove, Brighton
National Archive Reference:
RG number: RG12 Piece: 820 Folio: 65 Page: 43

Can anyone tell me if the dates for the Scotland census are the same as the England census or did they have different dates?

viz:

1841 - taken on 7 June
1851 - taken on 30 March
1861 - taken...

That is kind of you to look for me Mutley. I wonder what happened to the 'Lucy' part of her name, if in fact Mark's findings are the correct 'Lucy & Nellie' that I am looking for.
Maybe that was her...

Thanks for the tip Mark. I have just ordered them, with reference checking for the mother's maiden name. I have not seen the 1911 census yet as I am waiting for them to become part of the...

I have a conundrum in my family tree (don't we all)! I am hoping perhaps someone here can assist me with solving it.

My 2nd great grandfather, Charles Edwin GURNEY died in September 1879, just...

Wheels are turning. I have replied in another recent post regarding this topic. :D

I have had a reply from the FreeREG executive.

" You are correct there are currently issues with the ownership of some Oxfordshire transcriptions. Consequently we are not permitting searches of...

I have e-mailed the Oxfordshire County Co-ordinator, and also the FreeREG webmaster. Hopefully this will be actioned in due course. I agree, most irritating!

Aislin, I am only a transcriber so I cannot addres your query. I would suggest you e-mail the county co-ordinator, Helene Schuller. Her details are on the FreeREG.

I am a transcriber for FreeREG, and have been for some time now. Volunteers are desperately required for all counties.
I cannot comment on the negative experience that one has had, but would guess...

Oh dear - well that would paint a rather sad picture of my ancestor |blush| . He was married and had 3 children so I wonder how he came by that souvenir. I guess we shall never know the answer to...
