occupation in 1851 England Census

Hutton is within 2 km of Weston-super-Mare, which is on the old Bristol and Exeter Railway. He was undoubtedly in the Bristol & Exeter Railway Police.

Oldest mother

Dave,
Of those in my family who had nine or more children in the 19th century, I have one mother at age 46-47, one at age 45-46, four at 44-45, seven at 42-43. The first was my great grandmother, and the child was born in the same quarter as the mother's 47th birthday.

Compact Date Format in Narrative Reports

Narrative Reports - Use of TAB Key in Sources

Narrative Reports - Use of TAB Key in Sources

I doubt whether this is covered Jane. The tabs are stored correctly in the 'Source Actual Text' field. The problem lies in the outputting of these tabs in the reports.

Narrative Reports - Use of TAB Key in Sources

I have used Nick Walker's excellent GedCom Census program, method 1,using the TAB key when entering Actual Text so that the text is shown in columns. This works fine when viewing FH Source Actual Text and also the Individual Summary Report and Family Group Sheet.  However, when viewing the Narrative...

Censuses

If your ancestors were in Devon in 1891 then freecen is excellent - 90% coverage at present.  Transcription errors are minimal.  Used together with S and N's Devon 1891 CDs it makes life very easy. [smile]

Diagrams - Baptism date in place of birth date

Jane
I don't think this one has actually been added to the Diagrams Wish List, although I asked for it some time ago. Also burial date if death date not known please.
