There are several wills for Parsons there but only one for Isaac - there was a "deposition" from the witnesses to say they were at the signing of the will but there was no mention of a wife or any...

The will was actually made in 1847, he was a Cordwainer, Sister Mary Ann Parsons, others mentioned are James Jeans, Martha Jeans and Samuel Bryant and housekeeper Bethia Williams. Don't suppose any...

There is an item concerning a will for an Isaac Parsons in 1849 under Dorset England Wills and Probates on Ancestry.

Have hunted everywhere I can think of and cannot find a marriage of a LEAT to a BROWN! It was a good idea - I shall put it in the too hard basket along with the rest of them I think!

Thanks Kerrywood - that's my "partner in crime" on this one - one of her LEAT's married one of my HARDY'S so we have been sorting through her side now - but Robert is definitely a cactus! Thanks for...

Hi Graham,

Thank you for that - I had come across Ann married to Thomas and thought that Thomas and John could have been brothers and assumed the relationship would have been from their side. I...

Or he was born with a different name - but how do we find out what it was?
His marriage certificate to Martha KENT on 8 May 1845 in Ringwood, Hampshire, UK it shows his father as Nullius Fillius....

Jan,
The only entry in Family Search was a submitted entry! There seems to be no record of his actual birth under the name on the marriage certificate so it's all very strange and mysterious!...

Thanks Jan - there is nothing on the Barbara Dixon site - I shall have to see if I can get a copy of My Ancestor is a Bastard - it has been on my list for a while. This was in 1845 in a fairly small...

On a Marriage Certificate I have been sent the Father of the Groom is shown as Nullius Fillius. I have checked on the meaning of this - but can anyone tell me why the term would be applied on a...

I have four in my tree - between 1756 and 1851 - all born in Dorset!

Thanks for all of those thoughts. The other witness on the Certificate was the bride's father! The two ladies look so similar in features that is why I thought they could be her two cousins - the...

I have a photo of my grandmother's wedding in 1903. She has two bridesmaids in the photo, one I am fairly sure was her cousin, as she was a signature on the Marriage Certificate. The other lady is a...

Thanks Roy - all sorted now - and I was even able to help someone else who had the same problem!
Glad you enjoyed your sunshine

When hunting never rely on either Ancestry or FMP coming up with alternative possibilities! In 1871 George Reeves was just that - it has taken days to find him in 1861 and 1851 - and this is why....

Not a problem Mutley - and thank you to all who have helped. After discussions with Microsoft (who weren't that much help and suggested I went to their Forum site to see if I could get help there!)...

Hi Pam,
Think you should class that as "Techie" actually!!
Obviously this appears to be a difference between IE & Firefox - when you right click on IE on Ancestry the only thing that comes up is...

:blush5:Sowwy!!!!!!

Thanks Roy and Mitch,

Roy - a useful idea and I tried that (by the way it wouldn't save it as http - said it had to be saved as https - I have come across this reminder before, so did that - then...

Mutley - this is the first problem I've had - and overall I love 7 (never thought I'd say that - too many learning circles send me in a complete spin!) - the mouse will cope better than we do! Be...

Hi Pam and Mutley -
It looks as though Agent Ransack is the answer!!! I have downloaded it and found a picture - not where I put it at all but under a weird folder as described in that thread -...

Am having a problem with the new Windows 7 and saving images from Ancestry. When I try to save to my computer I come up with the various locations to save it in - most locations it says I do not have...

And what are they going to do about our new swear word "carbontax"??

Um - maybe uninstall 10 then download 9??!
