Ancestry FT dates mixed up

Good afternoon all 

Not sure what I've done but any help rectifying the issue will be most appreciated, thanks!

Try removing the death and re-entering it, it may just be a blip.

Thanks groom, it slipped the death fact back into the same spot, so I added the word Between before the sisters birth date and that's done the trick.

Just wonder if its because you've got a complete date for one fact and a date in a different format for the other fact.  Maybe it needs all dates to be formatted the same.

Thanks or the suggestion Pheno, but that seems a bit strange to me, 'cos sometimes there's specific dates with a birth or death cert and others only the Jan-Feb-Mar from the bmd registry. I'll have a dig in the Anc* help files see if I do need to format the dates to be the same

Sorry what I meant was perhaps it can't cope with the Jan-Feb-Mar element and you need to go for either the first of the quarter i.e. Jan or the last i.e. Mar rather than try the combination.

The usual format for a quarter date is to just mention the end month of the quarter?
E.G. Mar qtr, June qtr etc.
And I don't believe Amcestry recognises Qtr dates anyway?
I usually enter as June 1900, an explain in the notes that it's a quarter date.

I've learnt something new today! I've seen variations, some say Bef. some Abt. some give first month of qtr and others last. I think I'll opt for the way it is on the bmd register then add a note as you do KGarrad.

Thanks both

If I put a date in as "c1895" it will put it at the end of the list but if a space is added ie "c 1895" it places it correctly. I think it doesn't recognize dates if they start with a letter.
