I'm not familiar with FMP ( what does that stand for?) and does it cost to search? |

FMP is subscription amd the records are the same, GR and FMP are owned by the same company. I took out my subscrition with before GR had access to them. |

Isn't it confusing when the same names get handed down from one generation to another? It makes life difficult. |

There are about 10 trees on Mundia.com for George. |

Genuki is a good site for finding out about places. |

Thank you Thelma, I've just looked at Mundia. Would you believe the first tree I looked at was like looking at my own, which is private. It took a while to find out who the tree belonged to, but when I did I realised it is a relative, and a lot of the information came from me in the first place. I've just looked at another tree for George and found another family member has put it on..... Where can I look for the birth ref you gave me for Betty please? :-) |

Name: Elizabeth Moor |

That's the one I found recently and thought was the right one. Now I don't think it is because the place isn't the same as on the two censuses I have about Betty. The one Thelma has found looks spot on. I now have to decide whether Betty used the name Elizabeth when she married Robert, and subsequently when she registered the birth of her children. The place Owston is for all these. :-) |

I have been looking at the PR's for Owston but they are in poor condition. They are on the Lincs to the past site I posted earlier. |

Sorry for delay. I have looked at the records for Owston births some time ago, and they weren't in a good condition either, but I did get George's christening, along with his siblings. I haven't looked at the rest but I will tomorrow, thank you. Everything I have so far fits, with the exception of Betty or Elizabeth.The ref that Thelma gave me fits the bill perfectly.The place is the same as 2 census records, one with her son George and one with her husband. In these three cases she is called Betty. My problem is when Betty becomes Elizabeth. she is called Elizabeth when she married Robert and when her children are christened. Do you think Elizabeth and Betty are the same person? If so, everything fits. Sorry, I've gone on a bit. :-) |

These links I've been given have opened my eyes. I've kept my family tree private because I stupidly mixed up the one on my pc which I bought with my online one, both using Ancestry. My own had all living family on it. I didn't realise there were so many other sites. I have given a lot of info to other family members, and got quite a shock to see what looked like my tree somewhere else. To be fair, they have only used the info I passed on, and not about living people, apart from me. So, the info I asked for here still isn't certain, but the nearest I got was from my own. It came full circle.I'm now going to accept the birth ref given to me by Thelma on here, and hope she and Elizabeth are one and the same. Thank you all for your efforts. |

I just wonder if it would help if you try and trace forward siblings. |

Thank you, Thelma, I don't know how you found these, and I will look into all of them, though I'm not sure how they will help me to connect Betty and Elizabeth. :-) |

Don't know why I did not think of it before. |
