The Common Room / Re: RootsMagic 9 and Illegitimate Children
« on: Friday 11 July 25 21:33 BST (UK)  »
Thanks. When I first filled the fields it highlighted an issue that a name was missing. I used NK ILLEGITIMATE to stop it happening. That was around a year ago. I did not like my additions and why I asked. Having read your responses I have removed my addition for each and they are now blank. In closing and opening RootsMagic there are no issues highlighted, so I will now write a note for each.

The Common Room / RootsMagic 9 and Illegitimate Children
« on: Friday 11 July 25 15:40 BST (UK)  »
Using RootsMagic 9, I am filling my family tree, but some children were illegitimate with no father named. At present I am recording the father as NK ILLEGITIMATE. Considering the number of illegitimate children, mine cannot be the only ones. Am missing something simple with RootsMagic?

Born Carmarthen 1929, but to a traveller family. Age 10, she was living with someone else, I suspect another family member.

Census and Resource Discussion / 1939 Register - Opening a Record
« on: Thursday 10 April 25 12:05 BST (UK)  »
I know the person died in 2023, but do not know where she was living in 1939. Married while the register was still being updated, she had a common surname and then a very distinctive surname; there can only be one to find. Find my Past will not search unless I provide the household/page. Is there a way around this?

I don't know, probably his wife. The one who reported the death, their name would be on the death certificate, which I will not buy at present. The birth year will be around 1942 as it is assumed he was 21 when marrying in 1963. He might have been younger as 21 was the legal age of marriage without consent. Their child was born 3 months later. There was some urgency and a need to marry.

I do not need to take this thread any further. It will not find him, so i need to trace other members of the family and may stumble across him.

I think it will be an estimate based on being 21 in 1963 when he married. Up to 1969 the legal age of marriage without consent was 21. My search needs to be treated the same +/- 2 years.

FamilySearch say their information is from the index. I am sure it will be the same index FreeBMD, the GRO and Ancestry used, but they have not included a birth year. Where is the FamilySearch birth year from?

There is a marriage in 1963, with son born the same year.
That was confirmed by a local who knew him and the family.
Considering the dates, 1942 is reasonable in being 21 when married.
If the marriage certificate says he was 21, that could explain the source.
It would help to know the accuracy of 1942.

Once I receive a response from FamilySearch I will post it, though I am not holding out much hope.

I have received a PM saying it is not on Ancestry and I have not checked FindMyPast, but a birth year is not on the GRO.
I have looked and there is no Will/Probate.
I am about to send an email to FamilySearch asking for clarification.
Where did they find the birth year?
