 I have just bought PDF copies of the following death entries:

- Mary JONES, age 30, Q1 1882, Wolverhampton, ref: 6b 313
- Mary JONES, age 33, Q4 1883, Birmingham, ref: 6d 86

Please PM me if you are interested as I'm not sure what the policy is regarding giving out the details.

Tabitha, daughter of Peter & Mary PEARSON is an ancestor of mine.   My DNA test results are on Ancestry, as are my brother's and first cousin's.   If anyone has matched it would be great to hear from you.

Another attempt at attaching it!  I think it's 'MK'

Sadly the first attachment didn't attach and I can't add it now even by changing its name.   It definitely says 'MK' with the next 3 entries saying 'single'.   The first of those is the chap whose Fishery scan has attached.

I'm attaching a scan of part of the 1921 census with 'MK' in the column for marital status.   It looks as if it has been added by the enumerator.   It has me baffled, but there is something something similar for the next person enumerated (supposedly her lodger) in his 1919 Fishery Reserve enrolment document.   Hopefully I can attach that too but if not I'll add it next.
Many thanks,
Diana

I think I went wrong by trying to update my match notes while the Pro matches section was open.     I am now being cautious and copying the notes first, just to be safe.
I have found the extra info regarding relationships is useful, although it seems to be a bit inconsistent, so best to cross-check with other shared matches if there are any.
I still have my coloured dots but Pro gives me coloured squares with the first letter of whatever I've named that cluster of matches.   It's a bit confusing having the two options.   I'm not risking making any changes for the moment.
Hopefully with time these 'bugs' will be sorted out
No brick walls have come tumbing down yet but as always with my research I live in hope!
