another full day of research

Something I've noticed recently is 'half brother or half sister ' in some trees.  Despite the fact that the tree holder has added the image of baptisms and the children 'fit' the parents.  Is this an Ancestry glitch or a case of more inaccurate recording.?

I've had this happen when chose to add a relative to a sibling or the mother and they come up as half ...unknown father when I know it is the same and then it takes ages to rectify or I end up with a full brother AND a half brother of same name

!!grrr Ancestry

Thank you, that would explain it,  I suspect that the tree owner probably does not know how to rectify the problem

I'd like to be able to classify:
"Bloke who she lived with for 20 years, but never married, 'cos he was probably still married""
and:
"Down as adopted, but there's a strong tradition that Mum ( a servant) had the child with the head of the household - so not child of his wife.."

That does mean there is not a place for online research as there certainly is but simply that care has to be taken at every step.

Aye, every step
