I really don't know how to describe the original, it seems like paper attached to glass, it can't be separated, yet where it's broken its seems like it is paper?

Thanks for your interest.

I've had problems for the last few days, if I go straight to the BMD's or Census I get "no matches found", this is even with records which I know are there.  It's been driving me nuts too, a search from the home page has changed as well, instead of showing all results, its now giving me the option of so many on different census or so many births etc., but a search on someone already linked in a tree is showing in the usual way.  I'm hoping it will sort itself out somehow.

Hi,

You could try telling them who that person is descended from, give them them the basic info. from that person back as far as you can, if you can't remember it's probably someone you have discovered by working down the tree (rather than back), if you know whatI mean.  I have made a few contacts with people who share 10 x great grandparents, so it could be something similar in your case.  Though I have found lots of tree on Ancestry which are totally inaccurate as they are copied, and copied again, so the first one may have been a guess and someone else has taken as fact.  I have entered a few doubtful people, which I know may not be correct and have found several trees since that have that information - it's why I made my tree private - I don't want anyone assuming that I have all the correct information.  So please don't use Ancestry to copy information without checking all facts for yourself - you'll end up with a tree that is as useless as fiction.

Hi again, not sure if this will work, I'm not that good with computers, from the info. I got tonight this link should show you where Jenkins Row was, it was demolished before 1960 and ran at a right angle to the main road (Bridgend Road).   If you would like further info. on the area please pm me.  There is a Library in Aberkenfig which may have more information for you and I have been told that a Cafe on the main street has old maps of the village.

Good luck

Sorry it doesn't ring any bells, can you give me the 1901 census reference, maybe I could work it out if I could see nearby street etc,  I'll also ask friends who know the area better than me.
