Hi Steve
Sorry for the delay in replying. We have had a leak under the sink which has wrecked the sink unit.....you would not believe the problem I have had in getting a 1200mm sink unit carcase.....the DIY places only seem to do up to 1000mm. Then we had to source matching doors as the water wrecked them too.....and the kitchen went in 9 years ago! Finally managed to tie it all together yesterday.
Yes I was born in Port Isaac, on Church Hill. I remember the Golden Lion, but Muriel is after my time I think. I still have relatives there, and parents, grand-parents, uncles, aunts and cousins buried in St Endellion Church yard.
I have quite a lot of trees that I have researched over the years, and have them all in separate trees/databases as it were. I have been wondering about amalgamating it all together in one huge tree, keeping the originals as backups of course, which would enable me to see at a glance which people I need to look further into. Do you think this would prove to be too unwieldy? It would certainly amount to a lot of people. Is there an easy way to do this in Roots Magic?
What would anyone suggest I do about a certain Jane Rider, who was born in 1818, married a Paul Scudamore in Bath, St James on 23 November 1834, lived in Bath, Lyncombe and Widcombe all her life, and didn't know where she was born? I have all the census entries from 1851 to 1891, she either has put not known , Tiverton, or Sheffield, Yorkshire. Neither she nor Paul Scudamore are in the 1901 census. I have checked but not able to find a baptism for her in either place. I seem to have been singularly blessed with ancestors who know nothing!!
I can quite see why I abandoned some of these lines ten years ago!
