Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Cause of death 1852

Could the name/initial be Jno....for Jonathan ?
If it is a middle name the GRO site should give you clarification... if you know the surname and birth year

HI
I think it says "supervening on"
 In, On, To, all make sense I guess...

The Common Room / Re: Burial insurance policies (1910)

Hi again
Perhaps you missed my one line post earlier?
I was wondering if you could tell me the title of the book you are engrossed in?

I'm interested in all historical aspects of Sarf London, that was my reason for asking.
Perhaps it came across a little odd to you

Hi
Out of interest, what is the title of the book about South London?
Thanks

Hi
If that is the correct house (and it looks good) then it would appear that the DeepDene school house on the corner had not yet been built.
You could perhaps mail them and ask which year the house was built, and see if it fits your timescale for the photo, or now that you have a concrete address you could consult a local directory.
Glad that you have found it...but the other house is definitely more interesting!

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry DNA...no longer a match?
« on: Monday 15 September 25 16:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi Scotsmum,
Ah you may have a point there..
If I actively choose the parameter of 6 to 8 cM, there are no results.
But with 8 cM as a minimum, page after page!
Is it possible that when Ancestry is busy to overload that it shows "No  records found" instead of "too busy to perform this search" (or whatever) ?

ANCESTRY discontinued showing matches under 8 cM some years ago unless you had put a note in like, “ possible Smith match” or whatever. The ANCESTRY PRO shows matches down to 6 cM.
This is in my case not true.
I do not have Ancestry Pro
I use Ancestry on my laptop.
I have 1200 pages of results (matches) in total .
I can look at all matches or select a cM range to view.

The app does not include Pro tools.  As a result only shared matches of 20cM and above appear on the app.

Hi again
Do you mean "app" in the sense of only on a mobile phone? I only use the website proper as it were
No I do not have Pro. Nevertheless, I can still view lower cM matches down to 6 cM, indeed some of my lower matches have sometimes proved more helpful than the higher ones!
