Suffolk / Re: looking at records on Suffolk Archives Website

Same problem here, three tries using the link at the top of the page, once somewhere else, and finally one at the bottom left hand side of a page. None seemed to do anything, but when I clicked on the main logo at top left it showed I was logged in.

Technical Help / Re: Family Bee Android app problems

Spent the morning experimenting - and it seems to a problem when I create the gedcom. It's corrupt in several viewers, including the program I create it with. I've asked on the mailing list for advice.  :o

Tried that a couple of times, but problem remains. However when I view the "corrupt" gedcom on my PC it's fine - so it must be something Family Bee is doing.  ??? I'd better try emailing them again - I haven't found another app that works as well as FB.

Technical Help / Family Bee Android app problems
« on: Saturday 18 February 12 18:06 GMT (UK)  »
I've been using Family Bee on my Android phone for about a year - first the trial, then the paid version, with no problems. I export my GEDCOM from Gramps, store it in my Dropbox online storage, and import it to Family Bee.

Suddenly Family Bee is corrupting my GEDCOM - I have children in the wrong family, surnames missing, and my husband's grandfather married to my uncle.

 Anyone else using Family Bee, and having these problems? And can anyone recommend another GEDCOM viewer? I have emailed Family Bee support, but no answer yet.

TIA
Dianne

Sorry - Walter Golesworthy is my husband's relative, so I have no info on Leonard. Thanks for clearing the confusion over Lucy for me.

I saw that entry, but I wasn't 100% sure it was him, as the census doesn't give service number. I've got both records now - thanks for pointing me!

I'd found him as a boy in 1861, and as a waiter in 1881, but 1871 was eluding me! Finally found him today and he was in the navy, a Boy 1st Class on HMS Foudroyant, a gunnery training ship. He was way down in the search results as his given name had been abbreviated to "Willm" so that's why I didn't pick him up sooner. :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Waiter or sailor?

We recently received this scanned photo of my husband's great-grandfather, born in 1854 in Devon, UK. Census returns show him as a waiter in an inn in London, as a housekeeper, and as a restaurant manager. This certainly doesn't look like the outfit worn in those occupations - the square collar that can be seen at the back and the lanyard make me think of a sailor. Any opinions? (It could be fancy dress, of course!)

Thanks for all that - if this is the same one, looks like a divorce in the family. My husband's family, of course, not mine.  ;D They really were a bunch of rascals. I'd forgotten how (relatively) recent this marriage was, and hadn't thought about divorce.

Thanks all!
