Have you tried contacting the manufacturer and requesting a software upgrade?

Thanks, Stan,

I must have been particularly dense when I followed your excellent advice.

Thanks for the tip - I'll use it in the future

Hi!
I followed a likely lead yesterday, but it wasn't your family. Their John Tait was living with parents in 1901

Can't find Cazay's people in the 1901 census - trying to find out whether this John Tait (Tate) has moved out in 1901, but can't find the family.

That seems to be all on the 1841 census.

They lived in Low Fell, Gateshead and he is listed as an Agricultural Labourer.

Don't forget that ages were rounded to the nearest 5 years in the 1841 census.

Working on the assumption that John Robson was born c.1790 - 1800 (child born c 1819) I found

John Robson  40
Mary Robson  45

HO107/296/11 Folio 4 Page 2; Line: 10

I'll continue to dig.

Buffalo Terrace in the 1901 census

RG13/4702   Folio 129 Pages 31 to 34   (Enumeration District 6)

Today, the terrace no longer exists, but its location was in the area between Harras Bank and Radcliffe Terrace (close to where the swimming pool now stands)

Thanks for that, Stan.

There's a Buffalo Terrace on the 1881 census, and it seems to be in the South of Birtley, East of Durham Road, in the Harras Bank area.

Hello, again!

I've searched the 50 pages on RG13/4702 but can find no Buffalo Terrace.
