Shropshire / Quatford Parish registers
« on: Wednesday 07 February 24 22:45 GMT (UK) »
I'm researching the Dovey family, and in particular the ancestors of John Dovey, born 22 October 1769 in Chelmarsh. So far I've gone back 7 generations from John to a Wyllam Dovey and his wife Jane. In the process, I have come across children and grandchildren of Wyllam born in Quatford. I can't help but notice that register images on FindMyPast seem to have entries crossed through in red, e.g. the one here:
https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record/browse?id=GBPRS/SHROP/P225-A-1-1/69988
I've attached a clip. The question is why are the entries crossed through? And a second question, are there any printed transcriptions of the Quatford registers available online? I've found Chelmarsh and Sidbury and some others, but not Quatford.

Was the Powick Hospital in the Upton registration area?

I have an entry for admission on 28 March 1881, and death of a patient on 22 December 1881, from Ancestry, for one Phebe Bache:

I have also discovered her case notes; they can be accessed from here:
https://medicalmuseum.org.uk/powick-patients
and following the link to search the database (uncomfortable reading, beware). At the end of the notes, her death is recorded, but I am unable to find a corresponding GRO index entry. Were deaths in the asylum recorded on the GRO, and if so, where is the entry? I've checked q4 1881 and q1 1882 without success. I'm also not quite sure what the last line says on the attached image.

I would tend to agree with Biggles50 as a longer term solution once you have all the files backed up safely

It's been a while since I set up my NAS on a Win 10 PC, but let's assume that it is not too disimilar.
I assume your PC and NAS are on the same network, e.g. 192.168.1.x
On you NAS, I assume that you have set up one or more users, each with an access password that you use when you access the NAS with a browser. I further assume that you have set up a number of shared folders. You will, again I assume, be able to grant access rights, read, write, etc., to each of those folders to the NAS users.
If you are using Windows 10, you will need to turn on Network Discovery. There are plenty of instructions to do this online, but go to Settings/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Centre/Advanced Sharing Options/ and make sure the Network Discovery option is selected, together with the Automatic setup of network-connected devices. This is for the current Windows user profile only. Hopefully, you will then be able to navigate your NAS files with Windows Explorer.
There are then two other ways to access the NAS with windows. First is to create a Network Share, or second to map a network drive. If you open File Explorer to the This PC level, there should be options for both these on the menu bar. If you are asked to provided credentials, then these will be the username and passwords set up on your NAS. Hope this helps.

As a NAS user, QNAP in my case, I would not expose my NAS to any outside access whatsoever. I have been caught once and had most of my files encrypted as a result of allowing external access to my NAS. Fortunately, my backups were both uncorrupted and recent. Now I have battened down NAS acces to a specific network and then to specific addesses within that network. Twenty plus years of research is just too much to lose.

Thanks for the suggestions.
The Shropshire archives looks good, but I think it will need a visit in the New Year.
