Family Historian - Recording Mary VALANTINE\PRICE's Details

Because Mary's name when she married was Mary PRICE but I've found she was baptised as Mary VALANTINE, I felt it was important to show how and why both names are linked to her, otherwise it would look like a huge mistake!

Mary's parents are the unmarried couple, William WILCOCK and Mary VALANTINE but the mother Mary VALANTINE goes on to marry William Robert PRICE later and the child Mary also takes his name and lists him as her father when she marries. So, I thought the best way of doing this would be to show an adoptive link between Mary VALANTINE\PRICE and William Robert PRICE.

Initially, I wasn't sure how to do this in Family Historian and made a few mistakes to start off with, totally confusing relationships! However, the software has a very good forum and, after some kind pointers, this is how it shows the relationships. I've never seen these bubbly white links on an ancestor chart before, so possibly I may have still got a mistake somewhere or other that needs correction!

Mary PRICE - Getting closer?

I swear to you that I really have tried to find Mary PRICE on the 1871 census before! Or maybe I just dreamed I did? After all, I may well have just seen the PRICE name and headed for a dark place to lie down :) Still, I have today found the PRICE family on the 1871 census, living at 48 Hatton Wall, Saffron Hill, Finsbury, London. On Ancestry, the Civil Parish is described as "Ely Rents and Hatton Garden and Saffron Hill" which may be appropriate as number 48 Hatton Wall has a number of families living in it as well as the PRICE family. Perhaps it is some kind of rental apartment? The entry for number 48 starts on the previous page of the census. There's the GUIDETTI family, consisting of Pietro and Margaret GUIDETTI and their five children, the STABLES family, headed by the widow Mary A STABLES with six members of her family, five children and one daughter-in-law and also the AMBLER family headed by the widower William AMBLER with his three sons. The PRICE family

Baby William DIXON born 1890

Poor little baby William DIXON. He was born in 1890 but doesn't appear on the 1891 census. I did search for a death entry but the only one I could find at all was for a 2 year old William DIXON whose death was registered in the Holborn district in the 3Q 1890. However, I'm sure this is 'my' William DIXON and I wondered whether the age of death on the index entry was wrong and this 2 years is really 2 months and so it should say zero? I submitted an error report to the GRO website on the 17th August to see if it could be checked and it has been checked and updated by them! I checked today! I do think it is worth submitting error reports to help other researchers. So far, I've submitted 3 since the beginning of July this year and so far two have resulted in them updating various things on the indexes. Anyhow, back to little William! So, I've found the death entry for him. He died aged only 2 months and his death registration details are as follows: Willi

Future Learn Course

Having just completed the free online course called Genealogy: Researching Your Family Tree with FutureLearn, I thought a blog to record my Family Tree Researches might be a good idea. This free course was run by the University of Strathclyde and I would very much recommend it. They have already run it a few times and will no doubt do so again. You can always register your interest to find out when it's being run again. Although the course covers beginner topics, it's not just for beginners. I have been researching both my own and my husband's trees for some considerable time but I still found lots of topics of interest and new links to resources I didn't know about. One of the topics was looking at how to write a family history to publish and this also included writing a blog. There are so many genealogy blogs 'out there' that I doubted very much that anyone would want to read my whitterings. However, as one of my major failings is jumping around, search
