The Common Room / Re: Evacuees ww2
« on: Friday 02 January 26 08:08 GMT (UK) »
18 or 19 seems quite old to be evacuated- could they have been with family? My mother, born 1924, was not evacuated from London although all her younger siblings and pregnant mother were sent to south Wales in 1940. Her mother died there in childbirth and the baby eventually ended up in a children’s home in Kent but my aunt wasn’t able to establish her route there. You would hope a newborn baby would be fostered but who knows. They were all reunited after the war apart from one sibling who sadly died in Wales. My grandfather couldn’t afford to bring him home to be buried after paying for my grandmother’s return for burial the previous year so he is buried in Newport.

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: death of Jabez Brittain after 1871 census
« on: Saturday 15 November 25 20:01 GMT (UK) »Thank you everyone for your helpful replies. It's amazing to discover so much just by asking. I have downloaded Jabez' death certificate from the GRO. Unfortunately the image has been badly cropped and omits significant details (I assume). Has anyone experienced such a problem before?
Am I permitted to post the image on here so that you can see what I mean?
Thanks again
You can report this to the GRO - I’m pretty sure they refunded me when I had a similar badly cropped certificate

As a side note, I have found these type of adapters useful as we seem to have more usb plugs than usb-c

The Common Room / Re: Does anyone know of any current Ancestry special offers?
« on: Thursday 26 June 25 16:59 BST (UK) »For the last two years I’ve cancelled my annual worldwide Ancestry membership and then immediately used the helpful link on Rootschat to resubscribe at half price.
I’m on the point of cancelling again and the website offers me the opportunity to pause membership, cancel membership or a ‘new’ option – ‘preserve my tree’ for £5.49 a month. (it says this will keep the tree active, retain progress made and allow the viewing of attached records).
I don’t want to preserve my tree, I want to keep working on it… but for the ‘cancel’ option the wording states “your tree stays active, but you ‘LOSE’ the records attached to it… you can view your family tree, but no record attached to it...”
Obviously I wouldn’t expect to view the records until I’ve resubscribed, but I wouldn’t actually ‘lose’ them, would I? If I resubscribed they would all just reappear?
That has always been the case, but the phrasing ‘lose’ the records is a bit alarming... I can't remember what wording was used when I last cancelled
I cancelled and re subscribed via the link on here and all my links still show. I presume the £5.49 allows you to see the records ( but not search for or attach more ) which you definitely can’t if unsubscribed. Jo

« on: Wednesday 15 May 24 22:31 BST (UK) »Hi folks
Do you let your subscription expire and then use the code?
Thanks
Yes, but make sure you have cancelled auto renewal BEFORE your subscription expires. As Sandra says above your current subscription runs till its expiry date. I just gave it one day after it ran out then used the link but I cancelled the auto renew option several weeks ago. You’ll find it in your account settings .
