Just thought Id post the reply I had from ICE as it does give useful info if you are looking for a Civil Engineer... Thank you for your enquiry, I am sorry for the delay in replying.  I have checked our Membership list for 1918 but the only Wheelers I can find are Charles Forsdyce Wheeler and Jack L...

I too find the cost for 1911 too high for general use.  However that didnt stop me spending rather toooo  much over the beta site at xmas[grin].  I found the images very good, much better than most on ancestry. I have not found any missing or mistranscribed entries YET, and am fed up with poor image...

'By spring 1915 it had become clear that voluntary recruitment was not going to provide the numbers of men required. The Government passed the National Registration Act on 15 July 1915 as a step towards stimulating recruitment and to discover how many men between the ages of 15 and 65 were engaged i...

I must confess I had never thought about where the info came from, it was my son who posed the question when we were discussing how to find an ancestor who I can find no birth for.  NA web site states this about conscription in WW2, wonder if this info will become available 'Under the provisions of ...

I have read about WW1 conscription ans understand who was called up and when, I think!  What I dont understand is where the information to call the men up came from, was is bmd records? or something else such as electoral registers?  can you please enlighten me.

Hi David, I have a very similar problem which I have been unable to resolve.  I have checked the local office with no luck. In my case I suspect the person was not registered at birth, as this has always been the family story.  Have you checked military records as he is of an age to have fought in W...

Thanks KSS I have e-mailed the library at ICE.

I have a birth cert from 1918, and I want to find out about the father.  His occupation is listed as Civil Engineer.  Does anyone know if there is a central register of Civil Engineers like there is of doctors, where I may be able to find out more about him?  He has a very common name and what is on...

Merry Christmas everyone, hope santa left you an IOU for FH 4 [wink]

Thank you, now sorted with your help.[smile]

[oops]Sometimes I dont think I should use computers!!! I have been using GedCom Census,taking my time and I thought being careful. However I have entered the data for 1851 but somehow put it in as 1841.[oops]I have tried to edit it via FH as suggester in FAQ but I still have 1841 flags on diagrams, ...

I have often pondered this issue, especially as most of my cornish ancestors were non conformists, I ahve found some in non conformist and some in parish registers....what are the chances of finding someone in both...having been 'converted/saved'[rolleyes]so could have ,potentially, beenbaptised at ...

Just been looking at the 1841 census for Amelia Francis, on Ancestry. I was surprised to see 2, on looking further it is the same set of entries, but its like one set has been entered clockwise and the other going in the opposite direction.Both have same ref RG107/137/9 Not an Ancestry anomoly but s...

Thanks, have just e-mailed them to you.

Fantasic news and well deserved, CONGRATULATIONS

Thank you Jane, but the reason I had to get it from 1901 online census is that its one of the missing pages on Ancestry.  This is becoming very frustrating, I think I shall have to be content just putting the text into Ged com with no image. Still its hardly the end of the world[lol]

Please can you help, I have saved an image from the 1901 census online website.  It saves as pdf file, I sent it to Zamzar to convert it (a number of times) to convert it to png, so it will be compatible with FH, but each time it comes back it hasnt been able to convert it although Zamzar tell me it...

WOW    i am really finding this program amazing, it took me a while to get to grips with it if Im honest, but thats just me not the program.  I did a copy file to play with as suggested and gradually got going.  Thanks for a really FAB addition to a brilliant Family Historian program.  [smile][smile...

apparently I am in Skipton Yorkshire Dales[rolleyes] I am in fact a few hundred miles away in West Cornwall, no idea where my server, Tiscali is based[confused]

Thanks for that info. I had located the medal cards but not understood them, now I do[smile]

This program looks great and I am looking forward to getting going with it.  I am probably being a bit daft but I am unsure which file to open for GC to use, is it the last backup that FH made? I have read the post about saving in FH & GC but Im still unsure which file is my starting block.  Thanks[...

As promised here is the reply I recieved...no help at all really. Thanks to your help I found 2 other families I was looking for on 1901online, they were in the same missing folio!!!! 'Thank you for your email. We appreciate your error report about the missing images for Cornwall in the 1901 census....

Sorry its been of no use to anyone. Must sign off now

I have a FEW credits left that need to be used tonight, I would like to offer a look up for the first 1 or possibly 2 people who ask, by way of a thank you for all the help I have recieved. I will do my best to e-mail you a copy of the document, but make no promises as I am not very good at that sor...

Gosh!! I have a feeling this is potentially quite a big problem with Ancestry. Makes me wonder if Ancestry is worth an annual subscription, has anyone had similar problems with other sites or is it just Ancestry? 1901censusonline looks very good but I think it could end up being very expensive.[eek]
