Thank you.

Much appreciated.

Just as a matter of interest, was the death at sea, and was the body recovered / brought back /buried?

Not that I am aware of. His son was the informant so I kind of think he may have died at home, although the death address is totally unfamiliar in the family, but I can't find him in the 1841 census. His death address is Tower Road in Tweedmouth. I guess I will never know. Just another mystery.

Hi,

This really isn't so much question, more of an odd cause of death, at least it seems strange these days. I have a relative who died in 1846. He was a fishman and 68 years old when he died. The cause of death is really something I have never come across before. The cause of death is listed as "Unknown" and the death went uncertified.

I am not sure why a post mortem wasn't performed (cost I am assuming). I also am thinking he wasn't at home when he died based off the address of death, but, that said, I don't see him in the 1841 census so he could have lived there. I know his son was present at death though.

It just seems so strange to have an unknown and uncertified cause of death.

Isn't genealogy fun

Hello,

I have updated my GRO Excel Spreadsheet with some new (and hopefully useful updates). The new spreadsheet has the following changes:

• The ability to import worksheets from the old GRO spreadsheet.
• The ability to flip the colour scheme.
• The ability to add a tick mark into a cell or range of cells.
• The ability to check for duplicate entries.
• The addition of the new worksheet named "Unsure".
• The ability to move records from "Incorrect" or "Unsure" worksheets.
• A backup facility has been added to allow a backup to either the same workbook, or a different workbook.
• The ability to re-apply formatting to a worksheet.
• The ability to change the date formats on the sheets.
• The ability to recalculate the cost column or add it if it doesn't already exist.
• The ability to sort the data on a sheet into ascending date order.
• The ability to change the right click menu without the need to change code.
• The ability to disable the right click menu and re-enable it. Any changes to the menu items will be picked up when the right click menu is re-enabled.
• The ability to change the options in the dropdown menus without code changes.
• The right click menu has been made into a submenu and is now toward the top of the Excel right click menu.
• The ability to choose the colours used for formatting the sheet rows.
• The ability to change the tab colours for a worksheet.

For a full description of how to use the spreadsheet, please read to documentation which is available from https://abbydalesystems.com/Downloader.php?File=New%20GROCertificate%20User%20Guide.pdf

The spreadsheet is available from https://abbydalesystems.com/Downloader.php?File=GROCertificates.xlsm

You MUST use the Import function to import your existing worksheets into the new spreadsheet.

The data in the old spreadsheet is untouched.

Hope you enjoy the new features.

Hello again,

I don't know if what i am about to ask is already answered by another, similar, expression or not but here goes.

I was looking up someone in the 1921 England census and I found them, no problem. The family group includes the aunt of the wife of the head of household. She was born in Dundee and shows as 64 and 1 month. No problem so far. However, under the 'Educational' column (column h) is has "On Parish". I am thinking it means the same as "on the parish" but does it? I don't understand why it is under 'education' and not profession though.

Thoughts?

Thank you in advance
Kevin
