The Common Room / Re: Duplicate birth entries.

To add to the conundrum

Alfred Ames b? -d 1917
marr Dec q 1912 Edmonton
May Burton b Jun q 1893 Edmonton (3a 477)MMN:Kiff
or
May Lilian Burton b Sep q 1893 Edmonton (3a 288)MMN:Johnson Occasional Copy A

Edward William Ames b 1881 MMN:Burnell
marr Jun q 1913 Edmonton
Ada Burton b 1894 MMN:Brace
 
Alfred Albert Ames b 1889 MMN:Burnell
marr Sep q 1926 Edmonton
Florence Burton b 1896 MMN:Brace

Therefore, if Alfred Ames who married May Burton/May Lilian Burton in 1912 died in 1917 he couldn't marry in 1926 to Florence Burton. The two brothers and two sisters who married in 1913 and 1926 are correct and their decendants are my OH's 4th cousins.

There are 15 Ames/Burton children born between 1914 and 1937 which could apply to any of the above marriages.

Hope this helps

Technical Help / Re: Libre Office problem

It looks like you are using a table in a writer document?

Looking at your images LO interprets the underlined in blue part as a hyperlink (mailto)
because the use of the @ sign.
I would use a spreadsheet for this purpose and use the columns to calculate the figures.

Track Changes
This feature is available for text documents and spreadsheet documents.

Used by authors who are working on the same text or spreadsheet, the review function records and displays who made the various changes. On the final edit of the document, it is then possible to look at each individual change and decide whether it should be accepted or rejected

To turn off Track Changes

Edit > Track Chages > Accept All
Then
Edit > Track Changes > Record (Deactivate)

Taken from LO Help file Hope this helps

Jim
