Gloucestershire / Commitment Ceremonies in Gloucester about 1960
« on: Friday 21 October 22 14:25 BST (UK) »
I have just become aware that Commitment Ceremonies can be held to recognise a couples commitment to each other.
If this was occurring in Gloucestershire in the 1960’s it could explain a puzzle for me.
Has anyone knowledge of this?

Technical Help / Adapting Records for larger than A4 Printing
« on: Wednesday 28 September 22 12:21 BST (UK) »
As a Family Tree Maker user I believe that I can’t print records on paper lager than A4. Is this correct?
Is there a way of printing large A size paper for a large family tree on one sheet?
Thank You

Please can anyone help me with information on records for resident boys at the the Clifton Industrial School between 1890 and 1905? I understand that Magistrate records could contain referral information if they exist.

The Common Room / Is there a Logical Answer?
« on: Wednesday 02 March 22 14:19 GMT (UK) »
I have come across a puzzling use of Two Family Names and can't think of a logical reason.
In 1856 a mother registered the birth of her son using only her Surname.
3 Years later in 1859 the mother married and in the 1861 she, her son and husband were listed using his surname. This was repeated in the 1871 census.
In 1880 the son married using his registered name and the Certificate included his mother's original name too. A son born in 1880 was also registered with the original surname.
Moving on to the 1881 census the sons new family were listed using his Step Father's Surname not his Birth Surname. This was repeated in the 1891 and 1the 1901 Census documents.
All the of the 11 children born to the son were registered using his birth surname and his death in 1909 used his birth Surname name too.
So my question is, can anyone see a logical reason for a Step Fathers Surname to be used in the 1881,1891 and 1001 Census Documents rather than his own birth Surname?
Thank You
