Devon Lookup Requests / Hesketh - baptism 1859-60 Torquay
« on: Saturday 24 April 21 16:04 BST (UK)  »
I've searched and cannot find where the registers for St Saviour, Tormoham are kept. Can anyone tell me please? From somewhere quite a while ago (before I started making sure I kept my sources) I found a reference that Winifred Bamford Hesketh was baptised at Torre, Torquay. She was born in Tormoham in April 1859 and I'm looking for a baptism.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Alexander Reid b.1882
« on: Thursday 17 October 19 19:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone
This photo which we think is about 1911 could be a wedding photo but is the only one we have of Alexander as a youngish man. Could someone please get rid of creases etc so that younger family members have clearer copies of the photo. No colouring required thank you.

Many thanks

The Common Room / Personal message to Dawnsh
« on: Sunday 20 December 15 13:47 GMT (UK)  »
Dawn has kindly done a 1939 lookup at Kew for Elizabeth Maddison for me and I have tried three times to send a pm with my email address. Each time it says I am successful but as I haven't heard back I believe there is a problem. Has anyone else had the same problem?
Thank you, Fairlane

Canada / Familysearch - British Colombia Wills - assistance please!
« on: Sunday 05 January 14 16:42 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help?  I have found a will for Thomas Dobeson who died in 1914 and on the index page was the reference will number 2034 - viewed the will with no difficulty.
There are several later Dobeson wills which I have found on the index but can't reconcile any of the references to an actual Will number to look it up in the relevant section
e.g. 1962-1968  Index image 204 Elizabeth Dobeson - Vol 230 folio 398  Other numbers shown are 19473 and 23067 but no four figure reference to match Will numbers.
There must be a connection somewhere but I just can't see it!!!

Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / COMPLETED Calling Legacy users
« on: Sunday 20 October 13 21:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I have just imported a Gedcom to Legacy (free version to see if I like it!) from Family Tree Maker as I have problems with FTM telling me I haven't closed it down properly and it won't initialize. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no joy. With Legacy I notice that all my "Baptisms" have not imported as Legacy uses "Christened". I use the term "Baptism" to unify the entries. Can anyone tell me if the baptisms are lurking without a home on Legacy or have they not made the transition at all?

Regards, Fairlane

Modified 22:45 - I was too quick to post a query! Looked on Legacy help and found I could customise bap to chr so redone and all baptisms now showing as christenings. This may help someone else.

Technical Help / Compatibility - cd-rom and Windows 8
« on: Saturday 24 August 13 21:44 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I have recently bought a new computer with Windows 8. I also have Shropshire Marriage index and Shropshire Burials Index (purchased from Shropshire FHS some time ago).

Shropshire Marriage Index  cd-rom for IBM compatibles running Windows 98/NT and later Version 1.0
Shropshire Burials Index cd-rom for IBM compatibles running Windows 98?NT and later including Vista version 4.1

Is there any way to make these compatible with Windows 8 or must I lose this useful source?

Technical Help / COMPLETED Samsung LE26R7 tv
« on: Tuesday 18 December 12 17:57 GMT (UK)  »
Our (several years old) HD ready Samsung tv is showing "no signal". Sometimes it works OK for 20 min or so then shows "No signal". We have unplugged power and aerial and started again. Disconnected the DVD player so power goes straight to tv.
Can anyone tell me if it is the tv at fault or the aerial?

Thanks, Fairlane
