I have examples where dead children have been named on the census form then crossed out - and where a child has died and those that came after given the same name - three times in one case!

Don't reply to any suspicious emails - not to unsubscribe, or anything else.... By doing so, you confirm your existence. Forward anything dodgy to report@phishing.gov.uk

I use My Heritage software in my computer, not allowing it to synchronise. I can create a gedcom to update my on-line trees at MH and Anc. I don't publish photos on-line.

My g'mother had great difficulty in claiming a pension. My g'father was not best pleased to find out. She and all her siblings were never registered and her parents were never married as far as I can determine.
