Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Brick Wall due to marriage not with GRO

Maybe he worked as a clogmaker during the parts of each year not conducive to fishing?

Certainly, in the Isle of Man, most men were fishermen-farmers.
So, depending on the time of year they would either declare themselves as fishermen or farmers.

Quote from: Spelk on Yesterday at 09:30
I use Apple tech.
I chose to use Reunion some 8 years ago. I have tried RootsMagic but find it lacks two things over Reunion.
With Reunion I can use Reunion Touch on my iPad or iPhone. This lets me view and alter my files at remote places where there is no internet or phone signal. RootsMagic lets you view but not update.
With Reunion I can switch from Family View to a Tree View with one click. Other programs tend to make you produce a Report if you want to see a Tree View.
Few people use several different programs so we are all somewhat biased in favour of what we are used to.
Most programs have a free trial facility. Worth checking as what you start using is likely to be with you for years though you can always use gedcom to transfer your data from one to another.
Some programs will automatically sync with a tree on Ancestry.
Media files will not generally move between programs.

PS there are lots of discussion on this topic on a sub-board to the Technical Help board.

PPS just realised I forgot the “free” bit.

RootsMagic is Windows software.
I believe you can use it on Apple, but I never use any Apple products :D

Within RootsMagic,you can seamlessly switch between Pedigree View and Family View.
There is also a Facebook page for Help, often manned by RM Developers.

I have used RootsMagic for years; it does what I need it to do.
There is also the free, cut-down, version RootsMagic Essentials.

Fold3 requires a separate subscription.

RootsChat rules don't permit us ti disclose information from paid sites.

The Lighter Side / Re: Myths debunked when doing family histroy.

My grandfather and his siblings were not with their parents in Wiltshire in 1911.
I eventually found them in Bedminster, Bristol all using their middle names as first names!

In every other census, BMD records etc., they used their "normal" first names.

World War One / Re: Explanation Please for Notes on Medal Card

That's not a Medal (Index) Card.
It's a page from the Regimental Roll.

Which column are you referring to?
