Ive been asked by a friend who owns a hotel in scarborough to do a history of her house have any members done this kind of search and are there any good sites for this kind of thing. Been having a look but seems a bit tricky when you don't know the name of the folks, she was told at one time it...

i have used ancestry for many years as i do family trees as a hobby and have built trees on there and never had any probs whatsoever with security i used to work in fraud so am well aware of the problems.

try deleting the entry you made, they are changing the way you save the information and records this month to make it more streamlined so that may have something to do with it. might make it go bck to how it was. hate it when they mess with stuff seems to take ages till it settles in and you get...

Re: the final piece an update just to let you know that we where right hannah did have a baby before she married, still dont know who the father is, birth certificate came for john with surname douglas and a line through the father, think they must have done what we thought and just changed his...

going to get the birth certificate but after speaking to my freind he informed me that his grandfathers middle name was dudley!! so i definatly think we are right too much of a coincidence . Hes over the moon . john henry fenny went on to be a schoolteacher until he died in 1942. many thanks...

i had thought of that, i wonder if hannah dudley had never married but had had james her son and then married james fenny in 1862. She would have had to register him as dudley, but then when she married probs just changed it to fenny the name he used all his life. still happens today i know...

when a church is closed what happens to the records held there are they sold off, or given to other churches. just seems to be a nightmare trying to track down parish records when the church is no longer there, and they end up all over the place.

i was at the library the other day searching the parish records for a tree im doing, i knew that i wouldnt probably find much as they were all roman catholics, but i came across 2 books of baptisms for our abbey church here all in latin from the 1800s , made me a bit curious i knew that the...
