Convert Sources query

Please do not spend any time on this Nick, as it is more an enquiry looking for an answer/explanation than anything else.

I've been working using the Census > Source Convert option, and the "No hyper link" filter. It has worked perfectly so far till I hit on a query.

this one came up and seems to have a problem identifying the links to be created, although it has found one.

and yet in FH, I can see no obvious reason from the raw data why this should be so. I could perhaps understand the mother not being linked as I do not have her full name, but if it identifies Charlotte, why not her siblings/father?

All other conversions (about 45 or so today) have converted flawlessly, and saved a huge amount of time and energy, so major thanks for this facility.

The original source text seems ok (to me)

Code: Select all

 Name|Rel|Marr|Sex|Age|Occ|Born|Infirm 
 ||||||| 
 Henry Robert Bullock|Head|Mar|M|63|Bricklayer's labourer|Lichfield, Staffordshire| 
 Charlotte Bullock|Wife|Mar|F|48||Lichfield, Staffordshire| 
 Emma Bullock|Daur|Unm|F|23||Lichfield, Staffordshire| 
 Anne Bullock|Daur|Unm|F|21||Lichfield, Staffordshire| 
 Henry Bullock|Son|Unm|M|19||Lichfield, Staffordshire| 
 Charlotte O Bullock|Daur|Unm|F|14|Scholar|Lichfield, Staffordshire| 
 Edward Bullock|Son||M|10|Scholar|Lichfield, Staffordshire| 
 William Bullock|Son||M|10|Scholar|Lichfield, Staffordshire| 
 ||||||| 

Incidentally, I have noticed that if an edit is made (and saved) to FH while using the Source Converter, we are not prompted to reload the file. Maybe one for way down the line?

If you right-click in the row headers where the identified names should be, does the list that appears contain the expected names so that you can select each one manually? If the names don't show then this suggests AS can't find census or residence facts linked to this source via citations for the individuals.

Thanks Nick>

The only name that appears is Charlotte O. So I now know a reason for this. Thanks
