Technical Help / Dropbox
« on: Saturday 05 August 23 19:10 BST (UK)  »
I have Dropbox Basic and it's been storing all my files and folders.
I have had a message to say my limit is up and need to upgrade.
I can manage without lots of the stuff stored so have deleted it without losing it from my Pc.
Now I find that deleting it from Dropbox won't release space.
This is after messing around with it all day 😉

Just wondering if I can delete the current Dropbox account and open another one, then be more selective in what I store.

Alternatively is there another free storage system with more space than Dropbox.

Thanks

England / Where are Alfred and Alice.
« on: Friday 04 August 23 15:44 BST (UK)  »
I have the birth certificate of Margaret Jane Wilcox. Born 8 May 1873 at 49 Commercial Road Lambeth. Registered 22 May 1873.
Father Alfred Wilcox , waiter. Mother Alice Wilcoxon formerly Shea. Alfred made his mark.

I can find nothing at all about this family  no baptism,  no marriage.  Nothing in census,  no deaths.
I found the address in 1871 but no clues there.
Perhaps someone else can spot something I`m missing.
Thanks.

Technical Help / Denied access to network
« on: Sunday 16 July 23 11:36 BST (UK)  »
Since last night my husbands phone can't connect to the internet.
It says access denied with a padlock on the Wifi code.
All other devices work fine.,
It's a Huawei.
I found this page but am reluctant to do it as it seems quite complicated to me.
Any advice please.

The Lighter Side / North Wales Nostalgia
« on: Thursday 06 July 23 19:48 BST (UK)  »
On Facebook there is a group called The Official North Wales Nostalgia Facebook Group.
Over the last few weeks there have been many old photos of people and places around Corwen, Llandrillo   Llangollen etc. They are very interesting and well worth a look.
They were posted by John Wheeldon whose brother found a box of slides in a Corwen street in the 80s.
Fascinating.

Technical Help / Google maps
« on: Monday 08 May 23 11:56 BST (UK)  »
When I go on Google maps I have a screen of "lists" which I have only my home address saved.
There are 3 icons timeline, following and maps.
The first 2 have nothing saved but if I tap maps I get a list of places I must have viewed in the past.
How do I get rid of these.

Also is best to leave web &  maps activity turned on or off.
I have set it to off . Auto delete after 3 months is on. This is on Maps.

To be honest I'm rather confused.  Thanks.

Technical Help / Search doesn't work on Android
« on: Friday 31 March 23 14:13 BST (UK)  »
https://www.wrexham.gov.uk/service/wrexham-cemetery-burial-records-search-facility

The name search doesn't work on my Samsung tablet or phone. Not on Google, Samsung internet or Google Chrome.
I do get results if I search for a year,  but that's a bit useless really.
It is fine on my desktop with Chrome.

Farrell is a name which is definitely there.

Any ideas .
