The Common Room / Re: Adoption and Original birth certificate
« on: Tuesday 05 August 25 13:52 BST (UK)  »
I think you would be better off just relating the information as you have it.
add in the 1939 register details too. The gentleman is long gone.

Was it a formal adoption? Is there a certificate in the adoptive name?

The Common Room / Re: Ancestry hint.
« on: Saturday 02 August 25 09:30 BST (UK)  »
My input would be thet you have to think of it as not so much as Ancestry finding a hint, it's simply passing on a hint/ record that some other researcher has found.
So that could be a (wrong) birth registration for a woman in her later married name rather than maiden name being accepted and propagated, OR the initial researcher initially knew something which the later researcher didn't, or used a site other than ancestry to find it, then added it to their ancestry tree.

What I see is I add a name (with skeleton dates/place) and get no hints. Then add a baptism or somesuch. Ancestry then presents a whole slew  of hints for that person, presumably based solely on the fact that the baptism that I attached was attached to someone else who also had all these other records attached.

There's no wisdom to it at all.

The Common Room / Re: Any Find my Past offers?
« on: Sunday 20 July 25 17:56 BST (UK)  »
They have sent me a very good offer to renew after a 6 month absence.

Not a general public offer though.

Im really getting ticked off, having paid Ancestry worldwide, and not getting newspapers nor military. FindMyPast is SO much better in that it's included

Having looked at Ancestry, no flaming wonder I couldn't find 'em.

"Holborn" "St andrews" is "Holland"  "St Alban" hooray for FindMyPast

The Common Room / Re: GRO Death registration
« on: Wednesday 16 July 25 10:48 BST (UK)  »
Quote from: meekhcs on Wednesday 16 July 25 00:12 BST (UK)
Please can anyone tell me why a death would have been registered twice with the GRO? I have a death in 1985 that has been registered twice, with consecutive numbering.
Thank you

Is it the same man/woman? a common enough surname? It's not so very unusual to have two namesakes with the same birthday. a stretch to registering in the same year and qtr isn't beyond impossible.
