The top one looks like works inspector (or something like that), but I guess it's the bottom one you're asking about, as that seems utterly illegible.

Is that image from a certificate from the GRO?  I can't see the swirly General Register Office security marking under the text, but I've got some scans downloaded from trees online, where that is bleached out.  If it's not from GRO, and if it's important enough to you, then it might be worth ordering a certificate from the GRO, as the register originally submitted to them would have been different to the one in the local register office, or the one kept at the church.  Or if it's from the GRO, then it might be worth getting a copy from the local register office/archives - again, if it's important enough to you.  Actually, if it's from the GRO, then it might be worth complaining to them that it's illegible, as you may at least get some money refunded!

Thank you both!

Amentia it is.

Not a term I'd heard before.  Must bear it mind if I'm ever on Countdown.

Thanks! 

I must have been looking at a different record for some barmy reason.

Unfortunately, I'm looking for an 1804 baptism*, which appears to be outside of what Ancestry hold.

Hello everyone,

For years, I've been using Family Bee as a simple gedcom viewer on my Android 'phones. (My main family history programme is Family Historian, and I just periodically copied the gedcom that creates to my 'phone.)

But having just upgraded to a new Android 'phone, it seems that Family Bee is no longer available.

I liked Family Bee as it was uncomplicated and very fast. I know I can access Ancestry/FindMyPast on my 'phone, but it's nice to have something quick and simple. Plus I also keep a bit more info, particularly on living individuals, on my offline tree.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement for Family Bee?

Thanks
