What nest of worms I have found! Divorce in 3 consecutive generations of the same family between 1870s and 1890s a fascinating piece of social history

Thank you for your help, all very interesting. I wonder if divorces are ever refused today? I shall be ordering the books, hopefully from the library.

Hi everyone, getting back to updating Fh after almost 10 years away! Lots of new records available now. I have a divorce begun in 1886, decri nici finally granted in 1888. However this is then rescinded and the decri absolute is never granted as the pepition is dismissed 8 months later. I did try to...

thanks Jane, it has found someone with a tree featuring people I would like to know about and I can give them info.  I can't see how to contact the person whose tree I am interested in. [confused] I will read more of the link later, thanks again.  At least it seems to be an official site if you know...

I have just bought the latest FH and am still trying to learn about it all before I do the big switch over from FH3.  Whilst browsing and googling names I came across this web site, has anyone used or subscribed to it.  I couldn't see any subscription details on the web site so went to their Faceboo...

I am using FH3, having  felt rather overawed by the big changes in FH4.  As an indirect consequence I have done very little with my tree for some time.  I now have a Macbook, and have rekindled my interest so.....  what do I do?  TBH no Mac program comes close to FH.  Are we expecting FH5 any time s...

I would be interested in both levels, would prefer a whole day for each as I would be traveling from West Cornwall. [grin]

thanks for that, I should have done it first...sorry

Hi, not posted for AGES, but I knew where to go for help!  I have used FH for some years now (still on V3 [oops]) My laptop is dying and I am considering a refurbished macbook and using Boot Camp to run windows solely for FH.  Has anyone any experience or advice on this type of setup??  thanks in ad...

thanks Jane

Hi, I have done a search on the forum but havent found out how to print a number on each page of the all relatives diagram.  I will be sending a few pages each wek to my 10 year old niece so she can assemble it gradually....it will be a nightmare if I cant number the pages.....the plan is to give he...

It really depends what I am working on. Recently I have been showing the tree to a young niece and its great to be able to make her the root so it makes more sense to her. However usually its me!!

wow..... thanks to that I now know a lot more about a relative who married into an old Stamford family whilst living in Yokohama!!!!!    thanks

Thanks Hilary, sounds like they could help me sort out a few things!! I'm a bit confused about the 100 year closure. It appears on TNA that I can order these records, so I will wait and see. I have requested an estimate of the costs of the documents,

I have a woman who appears to have been divorced twice by her husbands in 1915 and 1925.  Each time there is a co respondant named and her 3rd husband is the man named as co respondant on her second divorce although she didnt marry him until 5 years later...is this usual? Before I order any divorce ...

Thanks Nick, that seems a likely interpretation.

http://www.fhug.rjt.org.uk/images/uploads/John_Coster_marriage_1845.jpg Can anyone help me decypher the entry for John W Coster please I have the date but cant understand the place other than the word Parish,  I think its Kerry, unless you know otherwise!!  This is from the Roll of marriages of Roy...

thata what I assumed until I saw the release date and its more expensive than the already reeased V4.

just had e-mail from amazon offering this product which is due to be released 20th June.  Didnt know another was coming, does anyone have any info on it?

Thank you both for your help.  I have found 28 pages of his service record, I can read enough to confirm who he is and roughly where he served.... a lot I cannot either read nor understand.  He was in 28th Bde Royal Field Artillery as a gunner when mobalised in 1914, then in 1923 rejoined 91st Field...

Has anyone else had this happen or know why this should be??  I have found the records of my ancestor in the WW1 records on Ancestry, but all the records relate to his service in RTA after the war!!  I know I have found the correct chap as it lists his address, wife and children.  Also the records r...

jane you are a shinning light for those of us embarking on a long journey, you make the way clearer and easier,, THANK YOU

I am sad about the delay and at worst its irritating as I had saved up to buy the full version. I couldnt resist a bargain the other day and have spent the money[oops]. Shall have to save up again or wait till next christmas[eek]

I remember seeing, some time ago, mention of a site that lists first names with alternatives. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I am wondering if Joseph is likely to have been known as James?

Hi David, thanks for your reply. I ahve searched the Medal Index cards on Ancestry with no luck, but you have spurred me to try again. I have never found an address on a relevant record card but I live in hope!!I have also searched other service records on ancestry, I guess that a visit to National ...
