Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Burwell look-up? Hobbs / Prince
« on: Saturday 28 July 18 14:42 BST (UK)  »
Many thanks for looking.
I have William’s burial in Burwell from the workhouse in 1833, but have his age as 80, which would make him born abt 1753?

I have found a baptism in Stetchworth in 1759 which I thought might be him as I couldn’t find anything else in Cambs, but hadn’t thought to look in Suffolk.

Somewhere else to explore further! Thank you.

Thank you. I thought I had looked there, but just rechecked and found the marriage.

Still nothing for Baptisms for either of them though... I ended up downloading the full transcriptions for Burwell, but they’re not there. I suspect they may have come from nearby villages.

Thanks again.

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Burwell look-up? Hobbs / Prince
« on: Friday 27 July 18 13:42 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
I have found (in someone else's tree) a reference to a marriage in Burwell on 8 Aug 1774 between William Hobbs and Susannah Prince, but there is no source information. Obviously I always like to confirm information found in this manner, but I cannot get to the Cambs Record Office. If anyone has access to the parish records, I would be very grateful to get confirmation of this?

I was also hoping that there may be evidence of baptisms for William and Susannah? I don't know their parents names or when or where they were born, but hoping this may also have been in Burwell.

The Hobbs family certainly seem to have a long connection with Burwell and descendent records all seem to be in the non-conformist records, so I am not sure if the marriage above would have been in the Church or the Chapel.

Any advice very gratefully received.

Many thanks

Exactly! That's what I said to him - I wish I'd got him when I first contacted them and I wouldn't have wasted almost 8 hours!

Never mind, sorted now.

Glad you got your phone sorted! :-)

Hi, yep! I shouldn't have said 'sync' in the first place - sorry, I always wanted to upload a new tree...

Anyways, breaking news... Victor on Live Chat tonight sorted it out in 30mins!! Not sure what he did, I had to send him my tree, he did something magic and sent it back and it uploaded fine!

Hurrah! Thanks for your help and interest anyway.

Hi Groom,

No, it's a completely different name. I don't want to sync with the ones that are there, I want to add it as a brand new tree?

Perhaps this is where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Andrea

Thanks Groom; I'll try the gedcom thing when I get home.

Thanks HarryW; I believe that's what I'm trying to do? I don't want it to sync with my old out of date Ancestry tree, I want to upload it as a new one and then delete the old ones as they are so out of date?

It won't let me upload the new tree at all though?

I'm going to brave the Live Chat support again tonight. Fingers crossed! I appreciate the suggestions.

Andrea

Sorry Groom; just realised I didn't actually answer your question. I'm not sure how I download the FTM2008 as a Gedcom or whether that is what I have done? I saved it as a backup and it has a file end .ftmb?
That appears to have uploaded into FTM2017 ok, but won't sync with Ancestry.
How would I upload it as a gedcom?
Sorry if I'm being thick...

Thanks everyone. Sorry I'm not explaining very well - my fault, I'm tying myself up in knots and I'm not the most IT literate person at the best of times.

Groom is correct. Whilst I do have a tree on Ancestry, it is woefully out of date and contains errors. I have been working on my tree in FTM2008 and it is much more accurate. I want to transfer this tree to Ancestry.

I know that I can no longer transfer direct from FTM 2008, so I have uploaded it into FTM2017. That seems to have worked ok. However, when I try to sync it to Ancestry from there I just get an error message along the lines of "unable to export data due to a process issue".

I cannot figure out why it won't upload and neither (it would appear) can the people on Maciev Live Chat.

I suspect that I will have done something wrong along the line, but not sure what!
