Technical Help / Re: Recording Cousins Marrying?

It does make the tree look confusing with these cousins marriages, but I guess when you grow up in the countryside there's probably not much choice of people to marry!

Thanks for all the tips on recording these types of marriages, I appreciate it  :)

Hi STG

Thanks for your reply.

I shall give that a go, i thought there had to be a way around it otherwise I would end up with duplicate information in for these people.

Thanks
Debbie

Hi William

Many thank for the reply.

I am using Ancestry to build my tree, to clarify would I still need to enter the spouse as a new individual and then merge them to the cousins record?

Thanks again for your help
Debbie

Technical Help / Recording Cousins Marrying?
« on: Monday 18 August 14 14:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help with my query.  I'm trying to work out how to record within your family tree a marriage between cousins?

The individuals are listed in my family tree program as the children of their respective parents but can I then link the 2 individuals through a marriage so that the family connection is shown?  ie that they are cousins.  Or do I need to enter their marriage spouses separately?

I've not had to record this type of marriage before and have kept putting it to one side hoping the answer would come to me but it hasn't so am hoping someone on here might have the answer for me?

Thanks in advance for reading

Got to say I wasn't much looking forward to this one, but as in the past the one I'm least looking forward to ends up being very enjoyable!
I'm still amazed that the 2 brothers managed to stay in contact with each other despite being separated when they were young!  Anyone have any ideas as to how 2 boys from the workhouse managed to stay in touch all those years?
But a really lovely story about a normal family, who suffered and lived to tell the tale!

I started my research in my early twenties, my interest started when Who Do You Think You Are started on telly.  At the time my only surviving grand-parent had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's so realising that our family history was no longer just a conversation away I decided to start researching it.  And I've been doing it on and off since then, there are times where I don't do any as life takes over but I always come back to it as it's so addictive!

The Common Room / Re: Awkward marriage

Have you tried expanding your search period?

I only ask because my gggrandparents married about 10 years after their first child was born.  I searched for ages trying the find a marriage for them around the time of the first birth but found nothing.  I actually found them by mistake as i put the wrong date in the search and low and behold there they were. 

Luckily the parish marriage certificate was on ancestry so i was able to see that my gggrandmother had been married before and it seems she had to wait until her first husband passed away before she remarried.

Although they waited to marry all the children were registered under her "married" name even though the marriage had yet to take place and she recorded herself as married in the census returns too!

Best of luck with your search

The Common Room / Re: Long gap between siblings in CLARKSON family 1911-1925
« on: Wednesday 15 February 12 15:04 GMT (UK)  »
I had a similar gap with my grandad, he is the youngest in his family with an age gap of 9 years between between him and his older sister.

I had always presumed that he was just a late arrival in the family.  Then when the 1911 census was released i found that there had been another sister that neither myself or my mother new anything about.  When i looked into it i found out she had died about a year before my grandad was born. 

When i did a bit more research i found out that some doctors would incourage a mother to have another child if she was still within child bearing age as a way to help with the grief. 

My mother also said she was incouraged to get pregnant as soon as possible after suffering a miscarriage and this was many years later.

So my grandad could have been a happy late arrival or a sort of replacement for the child they had lost to illness.  I will never know which it was but i am sure glad it happened as i wouldn't be here if it hadn't!  ;D
