Thank you for that. I've never had it come up before so perhaps it's something they are trialling now.

Just out of interest. Did anyone else have the site tree building straight after using the link?
Never happened to me before.

Hopefully someone can tell me how to sort this out.
I asked my son to sign me up to Ancestry using the link. Have done so before with no problem. This time however he started asking their questions which started the installation of a Tree, which I don’t want and have never had.
Luckily he hadn’t got far. We’ve deleted all entries except me (I hope). Can anyone tell me how to completely erase anything to do with a tree? I don’t like to try anything in case I make it more complicated.

Many thanks Jim.
The May Burton, mother of Alfred W G Ames, was the first May not May Louisa.
What a complicated family.

According to the marriage certificate seen online, Frederic’s father’s name was Nathaniel, boot maker.
My interest is with the bride’s family so I haven’t done a great deal with Frederic’s.
Gee and Standeven seem to come up as two separate surnames, with Standeven mainly in the north of the country. This leads me to think it was his mother’s maiden name but I haven’t got anywhere with that.
Frederic’s age on marriage was given as 18 and his bride’s as 17..

Good grief, the things you can find out about family members. Luckily not close family,
Thank you for that. What a rogue.
I will have a look tomorrow re Fred’s parents.

I can forgive the mistake with Bertie. It is probably the only time I’ve seen one on the site.
This head of this family started out as Frederic Standeven Gee. Goodness knows what happened to Gee but it’s got me confused.

Many thanks Rosie.
It's definitely Standeven on FreeBMD. I must learn to be more open minded re names.
