Technical Help / Short cuts
« on: Thursday 18 February 16 00:33 GMT (UK)  »
I have lost the ability to find them and maybe the contents of my "Favorites" I have them as a shortcut which up to yesterday I could select and click and up would come "OPEN" but today when I click on the icon it states "Restore Previous Version" I then select the Previous Version page on the same site and it states "There are no previous versions"  I am using Windows 10 (I wish I had not changed from Vista now!!) and Fire Fox as my browser (I think) Any answers please do not exceed words longer than one syllable as I am antique and get baffled when I get technical answers using computer speak.
Thank You Dennis

Cambridgeshire / Mother of Sarah Bangle
« on: Saturday 30 January 16 06:37 GMT (UK)  »
Sarah Bangle was baptized 20th September 1674 at Harston Cambridgeshire her father I have as Richard later on in the family it gives his wife as Elizabeth Warrin  the only snag is the couple did not marry until the 10th July 1683 at Cambridge St Boltoph according to Free Reg. Others on Ancestry have Elizabeth Warrin as mother to all the children going back to 1670. As I live in Australia I cannot drop into the SOG as that is where I think I obtained the details of Sarah's baptism. Has any one got access to the Harston parish registers to check it out for me?
In anticipation Thank you Dennis

England / Help to find Parish Locator
« on: Thursday 21 January 16 04:01 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have the address of the site that has all the English Parishes listed,Not only does it list all the parishes but you can select a parish and then insert a distance say 10 miles and all the parishes within a radius of the original selected parish with the distance from it. I had this on my old computer for years and having just bought a new one the last one just gave up on me and all my sites went with it. I found it very helpful being in Australia and having miles between watering holes,
Thank you Dennis

Technical Help / Starting a new tree on Ancestry
« on: Saturday 28 November 15 06:26 GMT (UK)  »
I wish to start a new tree on the Ancestry site and it does not want me to put a heading such as Densavs Tree. What comes up is when I click on "Start a new tree"  it asks me to "Add a new person" so what do I do to get the heading?    Another thing is I many years ago downloaded ( I think) one of my trees on Ancestry to PAF I now have Family Tree Maker installed  Can I download one of my trees if so how?    Thank you Dennis

Kent / Golden Green Tonbridge
« on: Wednesday 15 July 15 02:43 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone who is familiar with the people living in Golden Green in the 1940's My late mother used to visit a relation there. My problem is that I only know the first names of the couple and of their two daughters and I have a photograph of the family taken on a family visit. I am fairly sure the family were descendants of a female sibling of my grandmother and who was born in India in 1879 the father being a soldier stationed there and therefore she would be my great aunt, she is the only one of my tribe I have not managed to track down. As regards the name of great aunt there are dozens of them appearing in the BMD's and in this case is of a very common surname being preceded by a equally common first name, I would like to go to Kent to try my luck there but age and the distance from Australia are against that. As names would be mentioned it may be better to correspond by PM's and then by my e mail address
Will keep my fingers crossed as miracles have happened via Roots Chat before  Thank You Dennis

Down / Millisle Presbyterian Church records
« on: Monday 29 June 15 11:20 BST (UK)  »
For the benefit of our grandchildren I am still pursuing my late wife's ancestors My query is are the records for the Millisle Presbyterian Church available in a form suitable for viewing in Australia?  I know for sure her direct ancestor was Robert Keenan Xnd 5th Sep 1839 at Millisle his father was John and I was told no mother listed   There was a John Xnd at Millisle 2nd Mar 1806 who could be that John and I do not have his parents As I have just about wrapped up the descendants of Robert I was hoping to start on another branch hoping that John was married at Millisle and to find out Roberts siblings surely he must have had some, Another query I have is I have been told that one cannot find burials in the Millisle Presbyterian parish records is this correct?
Thank you Dennis

Cork / Cork deaths from newspapers
« on: Wednesday 27 August 14 23:38 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find a site from which I obtained death of Cork ancestors and try as I may I cannot find it again. I have one page the heading states "Cork Constitutional Cork City Library 23/9/1994" The page I have is from 1838, the entry I am interested in is " 6th Jan William Cottrell Cork City died at his lodgings solicitor eldest son of the late Francis Cottrell Architect" All pages are hand written.   The reason I wish to find this site in addition to finding other members of the tribe is towards the end of 1838 a William Cottrell a attorney died and I wish to obtain a copy of that page.
In anticipation Thank you and this time I will note the details   Dennis

Ireland / Obtaining a Irish Will
« on: Sunday 10 August 14 05:46 BST (UK)  »
This seems to me to be very complicated but the question is could I obtain a copy of the will or would it have been destroyed in 1922  If not destroyed how do I go about getting it?   Irish wills  Francis Cottrell 23 May 1866 Letters of administration etc to Stephen Halloran Cottrell one of the Residuary legatees,  Francis died 15 Mar 1819 Cork ,Former Grant Diocesan Court of Cork Cloyne and Ross 23 Nov 1834.  As an aside the effects were under One pound!!

« on: Saturday 07 June 14 11:50 BST (UK)  »
I have been told my ancestor a Robert Homan appears in the 1851 census of Dublin St Marys If this is so would it give his profession? mine when living in Cork was a member of the legal fraternity he would be aged around 62 years old and his wife's name was Charlotte
