Ticket of Leave

Post by janefrances » 03 Oct 2020 15:00

Hoping someone can advise me on how to go about documenting Ticket of Leave and Certified Freedom Date as a fact?
Many thanks :D

I have moved this to the FH General Use Forum as Plugins won't help.

You could create a generic custom attribute such as Legal Judgement that copes with a wide range of such occurrences.
The Value of the attribute would be Ticket of Leave or Certificate of Freedom in the same way that the Occupation attribute has different Values.

Then a Source Citation would link to a Source record giving the document details.

That seems to work for both facts. Thank you.
The sentence on the facts tab:
His Legal Judgement was Ticket of Leave on 26 April 1869 in Fremantle
His Legal Judgement was Certificate of Freedom on 10 April 1874

Those are simply the default Sentence Template narratives.
If you edit that from:
{individual} {label} was {value} ...
to
{individual} {value} was granted ...
it will say
His Ticket of Leave was granted on ...
