Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll certainly follow those links.

I have been inactive for some time and still have v3.1 in use. I have just downloaded v6. Should I uninstall v3 before installing v6?

You're right. It does. Thanks.

Thanks both. Looking at it again this morning in better light I came to the same general idea. The first bit looks more like 'Name of'.
I wish that I could get the last bit but I have enough to work on. Now to find Mr. Waters.

Can you supply the missing words? We had distant relatives named Waters and there is a rumour of coal mines. 3 - pits  South Wales  Between Ferndale(?) and Mardy Near Morriston Close(d?) one hundred years ago Unreadable unreadable of one unreadable (Mrs?) Charles(?) Waters/unreadable http://www.fhug...

No problems here with XP Home/SP3 and IE8.

Thanks, Jane. I'll go ahead now.

From my Project File FH will print my tree with photos on umpteen pages of A4. I want to ask a specialist printer to print the tree plus photos on one big sheet. It can't be as simple as supplying him with a copy of the Project File, can it?

I have a cousin who was killed in an Army training exercise in Scotland in 1942. Is he entitled to have his name on his local war memorial or is entitlement granted only if the person was killed in action? (He is listed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.)

Thanks, Jane. I'll have a look at that this weekend.

I am trying to copy a project file to CD. I have tried saving a Gedcom file copy and I have tried exporting a Gedcom file. I have also tried a standard Windows file copy. In every case the file transfers to the CD but all photographs are missing and have been replaced by a mixture of blank rectangle...

This free searchable archive 1803-1982 might be of interest.

Jane - that's an interesting link, and a nice picture to add to my records.

Thanks both. Another mystery solved.

I'm looking at the Army record of a great uncle who was posted to India in March 1892 as a drummer boy in the 2nd Yorkshire Regiment. This is the ship on which he travelled.

And it's 1892 not 1992.I'm not doing very well tonight.

Sorry, I should have said that I've got the HMS bit.

Can anyone decipher this, please? The ship was en route to India in 1892.

Thanks, John.

Thanks, doonhamer. That's useful.

Thanks all. I need to do a bit more research.

Thanks, Gerry. That explains the situation. I'll now have to find out just what the parents decided to do.

FH has assigned the father's surname to the child of unmarried parents. Is this correct?

Cake-making looks a likely option.

I had a transcript. I've run out of credits so I can't get an image at the moment. I agree that transcription sometimes leaves a lot to be desired.

Thanks for the responses.

One of my female ancestors is shown in the 1911 census as an 'Iceing coverer'. That's not in my comprehensive lists. Any ideas what it might be?

The census web-site says that you should not enter middle names or maiden names. http://www.census.gov.uk
