Thank you very much almach.

Would really appreciate some help with a record found on Ancestry. Mary Ellen McGOVERN b1882 is with her parents and sister at the bottom of page 16 but page 17 is missing ….top of Page 18 are 2...

Thank you for your efforts. I have studied those records and as I said, couldn’t find her with certainty. I think my cousin needs to get the marriage certificate to confirm her father’s details. ...

Thank you Arthurk, can’t find her with certainty prior to 1899 marriage to James Donohue in Liverpool but WARD is her maiden name on children’s baptisms. I’ve seen many marriages where relict is...

Yes, I’m familiar with relict but a Google of relictam brought up abandoned. It was an 1899 marriage.

I’m looking at a marriage record and “filiam” is crossed out and what looks like “relictam Jacobi Ward”. Does this mean her father abandoned her?…..an unnecessary detail I would have thought or is...

Thank you both. Talk about brain fog! I’ve used that site numerous times but not for while so it looked like it was just for ordering certificates.

I used to be able to search the birth index pre 1911 to find MMN but seem to have lost the link and now can’t access it on the GRO site. Any advice please.

Thank you Sue. I use Safari on my iPad, tried clearing history but no joy. Does clearing history clear cookies? I’m really in the dark when I have setting problems....my iPad is 5 years old, could...

Thanks for tips....will try Google to clear cache....whatever that is!

Help! I asked Ancestry why suddenly I can’t open original images using my iPad and got the reply about Clear cache and cookies....no idea what that means or how to do it.

Thank you Lesley, that’s a big help.

Trying to help a friend whose Scottish grandparents came from Lochgelly? ...but I’ve not searched for Scottish records before so not finding much.

How do we find marriage records of James COOK...

It would help to know who your Grandmother married as her birth date will be on the 1939 Register....assuming she was alive then.

You’ll find the family in Smithdown Rd transcribed as PARVIS.

I think Alma has the right family and this is Patrick's baptism details from Our Lady of Reconciliation which seems to be the favoured church for the CUNNINGHAMS. Patrick born 17 Dec 1862 baptised...

Because I'm a curious lass, I love to have a good look at new information and it really irritates me when I see glaring errors....it shouldn't and it's certainly not good for my blood pressure.! :-)...

The census records the relationship to the Head of the house who is Charles. Mary is his wife but not necessarily the mother of all the children. When you know first wife Johanna died, you look for...

My mistake Megan....for some reason (probably of a senior nature) I read his birth date as 12 July 1896.

You have a birth date for Thomas but Thomas TAYLOR'S birth with mother's maiden name BARRETT was registered in the March quarter of 1897....not the Sept quarter of 1896 that the date you have...

Thank you Megan..that’s what I think too.

Is a first cousin 3 x removed a closer relation than a third cousin?

thanks, Sue

Thanks again...will have a look.

Thank you Pam, that's the first thing I did and there is a Commercial St near the waterfront. Sounds like SF is the headquarters and a long way from the east coast where I assume he jumped ship. I...

My Grandfather and his brother were marine firemen on the Liverpool to North America route.

My Grandfather deserted his wife and young famiy in 1911 and it is thought he stayed in Canada...no...
