Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry DNA Delay - No New Matches
« on: Wednesday 26 January 22 18:27 GMT (UK)  »
After reading the last few pages of this thread I looked at the DNA tab on Ancestry and its new functionality (well new to me anyway).

I liked the way you can attribute the matches to your paternal or maternal side and mark them accordingly. Was a little surprised to see i have three times as many matches on my paternal side as on my maternal side but i guess that's just down to who tests. Overall an improvement i think.

Davidft, nothing seems to be coming up for me on the site you mentioned when I put in Abraham Entwistle, 1876 for oldham, chadderton or manchester.

How did you find the prison record? (I've no doubt I'm just being a bit thick here).

Thanks, Luke

Hi

You need to search on
1. Institutions and Organisations tab
2.Under that on the Prison Registers sub tab
3. Under that tab search for Abraham Entwistle born 1876 +- 2 years and you get four results. The bottom two are for your Abraham and give extra details.

4. The first two may also be for your Abraham in 1902 !!!!!

Good luck

If you want a possible for the wife you could buy this record to see if it is correct

M Ann
Entwistle
1883
Chadderton, Lancashire, England
Oldham
Oldham
Lancashire

Chadderton is one mile from Oldham. (But the children don't seem to be there?)

Also on FindMyPast there is a 1921 prison entry for

Entwistle
Abraham


1921
England & Wales, Crime, Prisons & Punishment, 1770-1935

which may be worth a look

Thank you everyone for your help. I have made some progress and got some copies etc although I must say I found it a lot harder than when using FindMyPast in the past. What have they been up to?

On a slightly different tact I found a stray and not altogether sure where he fits in so I will follow that up in due course but not immediately.

Thanks for the suggestions it has given me something to work with tomorrow - although still getting dark copies at the moment, a FindMyPast fault?

Technical Help / 1921 Census - Printing and saving
« on: Thursday 13 January 22 18:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I have found my extended family members on the 1921 census but am having no luck printing or saving them.

When i print them they are too dark and I am having no success in making lighter prints. Also I do not know how to save them as there does not appear to be an easy save option.

Grateful for advice on how to overcome these stumbles.
