The Common Room / Re: Ancestry Problems...
« on: Tuesday 19 March 24 07:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone on this thread,

Just for the record, I do not have Microsoft windows.  It's the latest Linux version updated three days ago. 
I am still having lock - down issues when I use Ancestry.    If I do that spills over to elsewhere.  So to me a serious issue with Ancestry. I have not been near it for the last 24 hrs and so far all else is ok. 

It's not only annoying but a waste of my subscription money. 
I also like someone else thought of Hackers.

Technical Help / Starlink problems
« on: Sunday 17 March 24 07:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am in Australia ,  So here is a internet connection Question.

my current internet connection about 4 weeks ago was via Telstra dongle wifi but connected to my computer via ethernet as I was instructed to do. 
 But we are not in a very good area for any of this technology to work very well   It's hit and miss and subject to weather conditions. 

Then about 4 weeks ago a member of the family purchased a Standard Starlink set up on a special deal that was on offer.  The package arrived contents one Modem, Cable, and Antenna .   

the person has set up the antenna  in the backyard under the rotary clothes line and placed the modem in the first available space ie the laundry. 

Everyone is supposed to be able to access this setup via wifi.  I was given the name to use and a password. 
I duely after some thought set it up.  the first few times I tried it it was great.
I did not disconnect my Telstra connection. 

Now I have discovered that Starling is only active if the original person is home and his computer is on.  That is usually weekends.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not .

i have tried disconnecting and re connecting  it just is not doing what it was said to. 

Is this because My computer is different to his.  could it not be properly recognising my computer. Is it set up correctly.

Anyone know anything about the Starlink setup.

Essnell.

Hi   Yes me too:

Over the last week I have had issues just getting the site to work . Especially in the messages section.  It is causing the whole computer to lockup. So after an inordinate amount of time and no response  I have to kill the computer at the box and wait for a bit an reboot.  It's been awfully annoying.

Hi Biggles, 
Thank you for replying again. 
Yes the shared matches do.  Most to my Grand Aunt as descendants of her and her husband and their children

It's very frustrating when there is one match that leads straight to my Maternal Gt Grandfather's line to his parents' child then to them as MRCA. It by passes the above.
He must have some of the same DNA as K and Me but on his own he, S, only matches K 

Because he  does not match them all he is different..

There is a very definite link with "K" to me 132 cm and to this person 'S" 56 cM  and
one other that is not as strong 46 cM.

I was hoping that I could differentiate between all the matches that are in this group to which side of the maternal link they are.    That being either my Gt Grandmother or my Gt Grandfather  but not my Aunts Husband's line. 
 
I am pretty sure I have   proof of the Gt grandfather  but the others may lead to the Gr grandmother's family that I have absolutely nothing about.
In the mean time I will keep working on where K links to me and possibly more.

If I find anything I shall come back and update.
Thank you , you are all very kind and helpful

Cheers Essnell

Hi     everyone,

not sure where to go with this .  continuing on from precious posts: 
I have done the spreadsheet and it points to the same conclusion that    'K"  is definitely related through my Grandmother's sister .  So to be related to me means she should also be related in the same way to my grandmother -   all on my mother's side. 

That looks DNA certain.
 My parents are both deceased as is my only sibling. So are my mother's siblings. Leaves no one to test.

 "K's"  tree has about a dozen people showing.   So building back from that is a nightmare on the female side. The names do not fit to the official records.  I have built two generations back that comply with official records .  After that K's maternal line falls apart.   As there appears to be no record for the marriage of the two persons at this point.  It's these two I/we are looking at. 

Going back to the matches there are two.  One has no other matches than "K"  and myself.  This person  I know descends from a Daughter of my Gt Grandfather's brother.  We have had contact and confirmation.    I think she is a Great Grand Aunt to me.

The other has one of the other matches as well as K and Myself.  My intention here is to try to see where his link is by building his pedigree.
However will any of this  help establish a link to a John Craggs Hoyle. Birth unknown, marriage unknown.

Might be helpful some where.

Hi Trish, Ili1133 and everyone, 

My accomplice in this search has been doing a bit of his own looking and has found the Parish Register image for John Moniment and Mary Thorpe's marriage in 1708, Shipdham. The image as you may be aware is very faint and Mary's last name was hard to read.   Thorpe is a good read on that.

We have not got the second one as yet.
 
But John's death in Shipdham was also found 1729  Feb 27th.     That's all I have on this part for now but  I really do think that this is our next generation back. 


So next is Mary's death as well as that second Marriage. 
So these records are getting to be very relevant indeed. 

  Quote   ilI1133:   Another move - John’s (presumed) father in Shipdham probably wasn’t from that parish originally - there are no Moniments in the Shipdham parish records before John married Mary." 
That is a really interesting piece of information. So John was apparently from elsewhere. 

More thinking on all of these and some searching to do.

Essnell.

« on: Sunday 11 February 24 08:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Mckha489,

Well that's a big hoop.  :-[         Probably best to contact the Archives and pay for a copy. The FamilySearch library I once tried to get to but never found them.   So yes, there is a contact address and I have all the details for the Document.

That may take quite some time so I will be back with any info I find. Thanks as before.
