John,
It would make more sense if you told us where you were right-clicking. The action of right click varies depending on where your cursor is
e.g. on desktop it does one thing, in file explorer another.

To be honest, I didn’t find Win11 much different from Win10

Contrary to what Themoudie said, FH does have a good mapping facility. You can produce a Map in FH that marks all the places an Individual has associated with their facts you have.entered. (I have done this for my fathers travels during WW2) The only thing lacking is a way to mark them chronological...

At a quick glance, when you think about it, the 1st criteria selects only those whose researchnote.place contains Rowley, therefore none of their researchnotes will be Null, so 2nd test is redundant!
(I’m willing to be corrected )

Miketate beat me to it

I’m afraid your logic is wrong. What you are actually doing in your 2nd expression is adding From All Recotds , any record whose note contains rowley, i.e add more records to the resultset to those already found by 1st exoression. What you need to do is to exclude from the records found by 1st expre...

Except that you can't search the GRO site without a surname. I suggested FreeBMD because you can use just the date and reference (and district if you wish) so as to see what names come up. At FreeBMD you can of course follow the links to see an image of the old GRO printed/handwritten index for any...

I’d check the official GRO website, for both entries, may make more sense. I had a similar problem recently when a birth on FreeBMD was registered in 1858, when their birth/Baptism year was in 1855. When I checked GRO website for correct year/Quarter, the entry pointed me to the later entry. E.g. 18...

Had a result from the whowhenwhere website, where someone kindly posted a newspaper article about Louisa’s 2nd marriage in 1892. Fills in a few blanks about Robert Brent, who is described as late Colonel of the 1st VB Devon artillery. I then did a google search for Robert, and actually found a photo...

As Robert was in the Army, depending on when he joined is possible that for his first marriage he had no got permission from the Army to marry, so even though the marriage was legal, he would of married again but this time with permission from the Army. Thanks Tim, I haven’t found a military connec...

In answer to Lorna & RS3100, According to the censuses, they both would have been over 21 on both marriages, and I have found no evidence of a previous marriage for either party. Louisa is with her father in 1841 (aged 26), and although that does not show marital status, she is shown with surname Fo...

Are the two marriages the same denomination? Can you evidence of two daughters with similar names. Both in parish church, so assume C of E. No evidence of two different daughters, but had that been the case, Robert would not be single on 2nd marriage. (unless he told porkies) I can only assume they...

On 15th April 1845, Robert Brent, Gentleman, son of Isaac Brent Gentleman, married Louisa Fox, daughter of John Fox, Gentleman. The marriage took place at St Mary, Lambeth. One of the witnesses Was Esther Head, Louisa's older sister, who was married to Hugh Somerfield Head On 8th May 1846, Robert Br...

Have a look at gedmatch.com. They give you a lot more detail when they find a match, down to where on the chromosome(s) you match.

I understand your rules, Mick, I just prefer to use the columns in the same order that you would normally write an address. And it's easy enough to sort on the colums on the Work with Data/Addresses form, or knock up a quick query for a more detailed analysis. But when the first element of an addre...

I think Places have to stick to a strict rule for geocoding purpose, and the fact that Place records are identified by their content. I don’t think this is the case for addresses, at least I never concerned myself which item goes where. The only rule I stick to is to have the Street name first, so t...

E.g. J000346abc\2, is the 2nd spouse of J00346abc, who is a child of J00346ab, who in turn is a child of J00346a who is child of J00346, a direct ancestor of my root with an AN of 346. Simples :D Nifty! How do you handle orphans? Not in the literal sense, but rather people whose relationship you ca...

Adrian, I’m reluctant to use FH ID, as I don’t control it, and worry it may change outside my control, and is completely arbitrary. I assign a custom ID to every person I enter into my tree. The ID is based on the ahnentafel number (AN) of the individual, relative to the root of my tree. I start by ...

I give everyone a custom ID, and start each filename with this. Eg. J00234ab John Smith Wedding 1905 J00445ac Christening entry for Rebecca Long Using a unique custom ID means I don’t have to further identify which John Smith or Rebecca Long I’m referring to. It works for all files relating to the i...

Or tick on place in map window to put marker on the map window, go to marker on the map, place cursor over marker, when drop-down list will appear which will then show all links

Mike L, I'm assuming as you haven't commented on the custom report plugin I posted that you're not interesting in pursuing it as you've already got a solution.

You are correct. I have a solution I’m happy with

Is it to make FH backwards compatible for FH users on old windows?

To apply such Colours to a new website, use the Copy... button instead of the New... button. Then when you edit the 'new' website all its settings will get changed except for the Colours inherited from the original website. I recognise that does not work with established websites. Your idea of over...

Doesn't Copying a Website package copy the colours? So you could create a package with you most commonly used settings including the colours, and copy that, then customise the copy to create a new website. Better than messing around with css. Helen, Good thinking, a lot better way of doing it. A go...

Mike, it is frustrating to come up with a decent colour scheme, then not being able to apply it to other websites. With my limited knowledge of HTML, I did find a clumsy workaround, which is to copy the stylesheet (fhstyle.css) from the good website and use it to overwrite the default stylesheet in ...

During the creation of a website, at stage 7, one has option to change colours, including Restore Defaults.

What I can't find is a way to change/set the default colours, i.e. is there a hidden Set As Default option I missed?

Paula, If as I suspect, they are for different censuses, simply change the date for one of them to a date range, then delete the others entries e.g you have three facts for the same occupation in 1841,1851 & 1861 censuses, change the date for the 1841 fact to read 1841-1861 , then delete the occupat...
