Find Ancestors

I contacted Debs telling her to check her thread. She replied she didnt know which thread as there wasnt anything on it.

Obviously she hasnt got the hang of things yet

WOW!! You are all absolute stars! Sorry, it looked like I had just left this thread. My small grandaughter came over to stay just as I had posted, so didn't get a chance to get online again till now. You have all been working so hard, so thank you all!!! I was not sure if I could tie them together with their relevant families but you have really helped. Sam Thomas iRichardson is yet another problem. Since I can only find him in 1901 its difficult to find his family either. I have him born to Thomas Richardson, a machinist and Frances Ashley, born on 21st Jan 1864 In Oldham. He is mistranscribed in their family census entries, as either James F or John F, or at least I think so! What does anyone think?
Best wishes, Debbie

Oh no........:-) Did you tell her what to do to see the thread........:-)

You're quite right though, when I first looked, I couldn't see any replies, then somehow ( I don't know what I pressed ) they all appeared! Also, how do I put the census transcription details on here without typing it all?
regards Debbie.

Yes, he was a machinist, deceased. On the Lancashire BMD site, it gives the mothers maiden name. I think James S might actually be Sumner Stratton Richardson, and John F could be Sam Thomas. Not very easy is it?

Debs

you have to learn to cut and paste but dont ask me how because I havnt done it. I need someone to show me Im a bit slow lol

i am not very good at explaining....but here goes....you have to turn what you want blue by pressing the left switch on the mouse( keep it pressed down till all you want is blue)...then go to top of page where edit is....click copy........then go to the page you want to put it onto ....click on page ...then click again on edit ....this time the word paste will be highlighted...click on that and it should appear where you want it.....i hope i have been clear... !!!!
sorry there are no capitals my caps lock is playing up !!!!!
reagrds vera

I saw Sumner Stratton Richardson born 1859 Oldham mother Ashley on Lancashire bmds.

Its great getting a mothers maiden name before 1911

Vera.

That sounds too complicated for me

It took me 6 months to learn how to do it the way Vera has explained,so your not slow quinsgran,i am.
then my edit button disappeared for some reason ,aarghh ,so someone told me how to do it another way as i couldnt get it back for some reason.

highlight what you want in blue as vera says

than hold down both the Ctrl key and the c at the same time,fairly quickly and then let go of them just as quick.

click on where you want to put what you have highlighted and press

Ctrl and the v key together

and it should work that way too.
so come on quinsgran and deb
have a go now .
viv

i told you i was no good at explaining....all i know it works for me :-)

regards vera

you explained perfectly ,vera.
it was me being thick that took me so long
it really is easy that way

i wrote it all out and followed the instructions that way in the end.
someone on here told me how as well ,so this site helps you find out more than just FH,computer lessons thrown in too.

Thanks Viv... my caps are working properly now...
