Thank you, LH.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA match on MyHeritage but not on Ancestry
« on: Friday 01 August 25 18:29 BST (UK) »
I won't have anything to do with MyHeritage.
Hundreds of bogus matches,
and where they duplicate Ancestry matches they ascribe too many centimorgans.

Thanks for the tip-off, Chris.
I don't really trust anything I read at Ancestry.com,
but I did think the Mormons were a bit more professional.

I just wonder how many such reports it will take before they do anything about it.
And it's not just 1950: I've just found someone who d. in 1942 with UK probate granted the following year, also apparently in Idaho.

Do you have a relative whose will was proved in the UK in 1950?
If so, go to the FamilySearch web site and enter his name and the year of death to 1950.
Does it give Calendar, Idaho as the place?
If so, please click on the Feedback icon at the foot of the page
and tell them how stupid they are.
Evidently someone in Utah doesn't understand the term probate calendar.

Thanks for that -- and to the others who have responded.

That looks promising, though if Thomasin and Tamzin are the same person she must have been very young when she married.

Thank you for your swift response, Carole.
I confess I have not seen the marriage certificate. I have over a thousand relatives in my tree: it would break the bank to obtain certificates for every birth, marriage, and death (and she's not one of my closer relatives).
I failed to find her in the 1841 census.
I have certainly tried FamilySearch. I did look for a possible Brake/Walden marrriage after civil registration began, but not (yet) in earlier years.
I think there would have been newspaper announcements of her marriage and death,
but I don't currently have a subscription to the British Library newspaper archive.
