An embarrassingly long time later......:redface::oeek).......I have solved the problem/mystery!:biggrin::biggrin: As my elderly mother would say 'everything comes to he who waits!' A long break, some perseverance, persistence and pennies (make that pounds!!) a lot of confusion and frustration...

Thank you for the help. :) I am back home now and using the site on my own pc. :) I appreciate your time in sorting my access out. :)

Not sure how to contact the mods and as I'm at my son's and supposed to celebrating a birthday I can't stay on here for too long. I'm hoping someone will see the thread and be able to help. I can't get on to the site at all at home but am glad to know it's not my pc.

I can't access the site from my home pc -I keep getting a message saying I have no right to access the site. It's a newish pc so am sure it's not that causing the problem. Something similar happened some while ago on a craft forum I'm a member of. A message to the admin eventually sorted it out...

Just to update - I have been unable to do much about this for the last couple of weeks due to an unforeseen and difficult problem at home. :( It's been very stressful but is now almost resolved so I hope to be able to make some headway over the next week or so with my search. I have managed to...

Lee- I've trawled through that site on many a evening!!!! It's very good but confusing too! I will be busy over the next few days looking, checking, searching and probably need to send for several birth certs too but think I may have solved one problem and created another!! :2fun: I hope to be...

Something in your last post got me thinking Julie and I've had a flash of inspiration..........I don't want to say anything yet as I need to do some searching again and work it all out before saying anything. It might take me a couple of days to look at it all but I'll come back to the thread...

Eliza had a brother called Ralph - he was the eldest child in her family. He was born in 1833 and was one of the siblings who moved to South Wales. It seems to be a family name. Eliza's grandfather was called Ralph. The name seems to have carried on through the family. Thank you so much for the...

Thank you for looking Julie. Yes, the William Vivian who died in 1868 in Pontypridd district is my 2 x Grt Grandfather. The witnesses on the marriage cert are; Robert Vivian - Eliza had a brother called Robert. The other name looks like Iom Vivian - probably Tom.

Thank you for the replies. The family at Holmbush in 1861 is Eliza's family and it is her brother William on that census return. The possible William Vivian's in 1841 don't seem to be on any later censuses. I had found this too. There is also an oddity in 1851 that crossed my mind as an...

If anyone can help or advise me with a big, high brick wall I have hit it would be much appreciated. It’s very complicated. I’ve gone round and round in circles looking for months. I am trying to trace my 2 x Grt Grandafther’s family. He was called William Vivian. He married a lady called...

I had a Grt Aunt who worked in the George Muller Children's Homes in Bristol. She began work there in 1910 and we believe stayed until she retired. Sadly the homes have very little in the way of records about their staff. They have been able to tell us however that she worked there as a medicine...

I had a very happy 90 minutes on FMP on Friday afternoon!:biggrin: I couldn't believe it 'worked' so well for me!:biggrin: I looked at 25 1911 census docs and save 18 to my pc!:biggrin: I've been through them all today carefully and added lots to my tree!:biggrin: I found one man killed in WW1...

Hello, I'm Denise. I registered on the site a little while ago but have been finding my way around the site before posting. I have been researching for some time. Got back to 1764 on one branch, all checked and verified. :) I have a couple of brick walls, one that is complicated and hope at some...
