Hi Martin and David

Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my enquiry.

All my tree is stored on the one drive.

I took your advice Martin and it seems to have worked, i shall be more careful in future.

Thank you both once again.

Regards

Martin

Technical Help / Missing media link on Family Tree Maker 2017
« on: Sunday 30 November 25 12:25 GMT (UK)  »
I have just switched on my Family Tree Maker 2017 and clicked on a photo of one of my ancestors on their family tree page, the photo is there, but to look at individually I am unable to . A box comes up with all the media items listed and a message find and relink missing media items (2291 )

I think the 2291 could be the amount of media items I have linked.

It would appear I may have taken a file from the programme, although I can not be sure. It was all working fine yesterday.

I would be grateful for any suggestions that may solve my problem and help me restore all my media.

Regards

Martin

I agree that the marriage certificate would confirm or deny if I have the right couple.

My mother grew up in Great Canfield and I believe as a young girl she knew Jimmy Mason, known as " The Hermit" locally. I bought Mum the book about Jimmy Mason, some years ago, Mum gets a mention, but by a changed name. My grandfather visited Jimmy on various occasions. The book written by Raleigh Trevelyan.

Softly Softly, Jon Warrn and LizzieL

Wow, that is some piece of detective work from all three of you. I am sure that John Mat(t)hews that you have highlighted is our man. Having lived in the area, I know that Great Canfield and Takeley are neighbouring areas. It all seems to fit. I will be chasing all this up.

Once again, a big thank you.

Regards

I have made an enquiry to the church warden at Great Canfield Church to see if there is a headstone for Eliza and if so, if she is the only name mentioned on it. I am awaiting his reply.

Thank you to everyone so far who has posted an answer to my enquiry.

I know for a fact that some of my ancestors resided at Cuckoo's, Great Canfield, Essex, so any links to that address would have to be a positive. Great Canfield is a lovely place, but not that many people lived there.

To date, not sure where the forename Nellie comes from. although Eliza's brother James later named one of his children Nellie.

Thank you all once again.

Kind regards

Hi Softlly Softly

Thank you for your reply. As you state, so many possibilities, but that would answer why I can not find a marriage. On 1921 she is recorded as being married as opposed to being a widow, that does not mean she is not a widow.

Thank you for that about not being married. Mr Matthews was not with her on 1921. I will have to check to see if there is a Mr Matthews living locally. Great Canfield is not that big and I will start my search there. I have made an enquiry to see if Eliza had a headstone and to see if any other name was on it.

Hi Milliepede

On the 1921 it states Eliza Matthews is married and living with what I now believe is her father Stephen Reeve, but no sign of Mr Matthews.

I have tried different spellings of Matthews, but to date no marriage found. Eliza is single in 1911.
