Bernard Thomas 's reconstruted acte de naissance (birth certificate), father 's occupation  is " domestique" , like in the baptism certificate . Notice that the name is miswritten  (Maritroy), address is 67 rue Grenelle faubourg saint Germain

Some parisian cetificates were reconstructed after the fire that burnt the parisian archives at the end of the 19 th century.

Thank you Joger,

I'll attempt a look at this.
Added - Got it, thank you 

"Maritroy" - Another variation of the Macilroy/McIlroy name. Has to be the name with most variants and mis-transcriptions I have dealt with.

Tony.

Thank you Shanreagh.

That's how I thought it looked but didn't want to put two and two together to make five.

I'm now looking more closely at the Paris births and baptisms of Hannah's brothers Alexandre James in 1807 and Bernard Thomas (who is my ancestor) in 1810 to see what they reveal.

I did have Alexander and Elizabeth baptising another son Reynold Charles at St Olave Southwark in 1814 but this Alexander is a labourer.

Will do some more thorough reading around French and Irish history and General O'Connor.

Tony.

I think I have similar to Stu.

Picking a DNA match at random with a large tree where I have not yet found the link to me:

* Clicking on paternal line names up to great grandparent level opens a box with ancestor name and 'SRO Tree' underneath.

* Clicking on any of the maternal line names opens a box with ancestor name only.

* Clicking on any of the paternal 2xG grandparents opens a box with ancestor name with 'antonymark Tree' (the name of my tree) underneath.

* Expanding the tree by using the arrows by each 2xG grandparents name and clicking on any of the names, paternal or maternal, opens a box with ancestor name and 'SRO Tree' underneath. This includes the names that were showing 'antonymark Tree' when viewed from the unexpanded pedigree.

The first time I noticed this had me scouring my tree in a panic to check that I hadn't accidentally added anyone who shouldn't be there.

Very odd.

Tony.

Thank you very much Manukarik. That is brilliant.

What a shame that English baptisms of that time didn't include all that lovely extra detail.

Thanks too Roopat and Shanreagh.

Tony.

I may delay my letter of complaint (reply 31) - don't want to overwhelm him so soon after taking up office 

Quote

New Chief Executive for Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service

Nick Goodwin will become Chief Executive of HM Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) in March 2022 following the retirement of interim chief executive Kevin Sadler.

Nick Goodwin will take up the position on 14 March 2022 and Kevin Sadler will remain interim chief executive until 25 March 2022 to ensure a full handover.

Talk about a poisoned chalice !

It's awful.

* I can't log in with the e-mail and password that I've been using to order wills since 2018.

* Search just doesn't work.

* Feedback just directs me to a page inviting me to open a microsoft account.

* Only way to find an entry that I knew was there from findmypast's index was to keep trying other names on the page until their system recognised it.

I've a list of wills I'd like but don't feel confident to order before someone sorts out this shambles.

 Worryingly: Are they trying to make it impossible to order historical wills and then claim "there is no demand" and withdraw the service altogether?

Despairingly, Tony.
