Hello Mike on the free BMD information page it says you can e-mail feedback so imagine that would be the one. FreeBMD-Admins-l@rootsweb.com or to report problems send an e-mail to register@FreeBMD.rootsweb.com Hope it helps,Linda and Tony I have just done a check on my Hampshire DOWSE family with FREE BMD and compared it to the check I carried out in January looking for new entries that have been added in the past six months. There are a few but strangely all those with a Portsmouth district that appeared in January are no longer there! Someone pressed the delete button in error? Who does one inform? Lynda and Tony one for you. Mike

Hi All, I have more brick walls than Hadrian or even China. My paternal g grandfather was William Harnett a mariner. He married twice, second marriage was in 1858 to Susannah Scouler in Deptford. The name of his first wife is a mystery as is the date or place of their marriage. I can not find William's birthplace either although he appears to have been born about 1807-9 ( this from death cert). He died in 1870 thus before the 1871 census, He does not appear on either 1861 1851 or 1841 censuses to the best of my knowledge. If anyone has any suggestion as to a way forward I would love to hear from you. I realise that this is not a Hampshire family but having said that there are Harnetts in Hampshire and who knows. Best wishes to all, Mike. -----Original Message----- From: Knightroots@aol.com [mailto:Knightroots@aol.com] Sent: 27 July 2005 12:05 To: ENG-HAM-PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT] Brick wall or even stone wall How about we all do some brick or stone wall postings then?

Could anyone tell me how to go about finding Alfred Henry Carter born 1886 Worth. This is the son of my gr. gandfather Thomas Carter and wife Alice. Alfred had brother William Carter, sisters Olive and Ethel Carter. Thomas, William, Olive all emigrated to Canada and lost touch with Alfred after his marriage to ?. The family all lived in Wandsworth in 1901 census. Also how to find information on his sister Ethel Kate Carter born May 19, 1889, died Aug 28, 1947, England - married Ambrose Davenport and travelled to India. I think Ambrose was musician with the army. Heather

Go to the National Archives website. Put William Harnett in the search box and ADM in the third box. This will reveal 5 William Harnett's who served in the RN at various times. Their dates of birth are about:- 1793, 1807, 1801,1786,1833 so your man might be sailor number 2. Try Ireland as a possible birthplace. In the long peace which followed the defeat of Napoleon he served in the RN from 1828 to 1842. He may well have gone on to serve in the merchant fleet. Two marriages? You know what sailors are!

Hello Mike if yo have the 1861 census or before it is possible to put in a ** instead of tt . Not sure if you have tried that or an alternative? This could be your answer using a wildcard. Hope so but let us know and will scratch our head for another idea/s in the meantime. Linda and Tony Hi All, I have more brick walls than Hadrian or even China.

1b. TIPS FROM READERS: Creating Off-site Backups By Nona Lightner I just read the tip from a reader about having backups externally as well as off-site. I firmly believe that backups should not be saved on the hard drive--too easy for the computer to crash, and there go the backups! I have stuff on floppies and CDs. As to my genealogy, each of my three grandsons has a binder for genealogy with his personal information in it -- including family group sheet and pedigree chart. There is a pocket in the binders for a floppy backup. That way, I have an off-site back up for genealogy -- and I get the floppies periodically to update them for the boys. * * * 1c. USING ROOTSWEB: Striving for Perfection You might say Paula PERFECT fits her name, well, perfectly. She wants everything to be error-free. When she married Stewart STICKLER all of her friends laughed and knew this was a marriage made in heaven when Paula became Paula (PERFECT) STICKLER. To say that Paula is obsessive/compulsive about perfection is an understatement. Her favorite pastime is family history research and Paula's friends have an arsenal of "Perfect Paula" stories about her attempts to achieve perfection in genealogical record keeping. There's the tale about her scribbling in a history book to correct a typographical error. Then there was the time Paula, flashlight and tools in hand, was apprehended by the night watchman at the local cemetery where her great-grandparents are buried. She was caught red-handed trying to "correct" the spelling on her great-grandfather's stone from GREEN to GREENE. The family Bible entry showed that great-grandpa GREENE had been born on March 22 and that is the day he'd always celebrated his birthday. When Paula obtained a copy of his birth certificate she noted the date of birth was listed as March 23. Now most people would just shrug off a one day difference in the birth date of an ancestor who has been dead for more than 30 years -- but not Paula. She sent in a photocopy of the Bible record along with a sworn affidavit that Silas GREENE had always celebrated his birthday on March 22nd -- and demanded that the state correct its record. A tad over the top? But look how many of us approach "errors" we find in online databases at RootsWeb. If you find a user-submitted family tree that includes your ancestor and his name is spelled GREEN when you have never seen it spelled other than GREENE, do you demand that the submitter (or worse yet RootsWeb) change the spelling? Does it really make a difference and have you considered that the submitter may well have found great-grandpa's name spelled GREEN in records he uncovered that you have not yet discovered? Name spelling variations are common in genealogical records. Only greenhorns insist on a particular spelling of their family names. It is not unusual to find an ancestor's name spelled two or more ways in the text of a deed or a will and then quite often the signature will vary from the spelling(s) in the document itself. Does it really matter whether great-grandpa was born on March 22 or March 23? Is it not more important to prove his parentage and the connection between the generations than whether he was born one minute before or after midnight on a given date? When you find online user-submitted data that conflicts with your research information, take the time to check the source of the information listed by the submitter (if provided, of course). Then, follow up by contacting the submitter to further review any serious discrepancies between your data and his. If you are unable to reach the submitter, he/she does not respond, and/or the two of you cannot come to an agreement and you feel strongly that your interpretation of the evidence needs to be represented, upload your file with sources and explanatory notes. This enables others to review the data in both files and decide for themselves which to believe. Nothing counteracts erroneous data more forcefully than having a genealogy with well- substantiated evidence and cited sources online. RootsWeb does not edit, alter or remove genealogical data from someone's online database just because you feel you can prove something is inaccurate or differs from what you have in your files. The world is filled with conflicting genealogical information -- in books, on CDs, in online files, and on tombstone inscriptions. Even official documents, such as birth records, contain inaccuracies. For those of you, like Paula (PERFECT) STICKLER, who are concerned about pinpoint accuracy in genealogical records, the starting point should be with your own database. Have you checked it to be sure it is error-free? Use the error-finding and fixing capabilities of your genealogy software program to locate inconsistencies and improbabilities. Do you have anyone in your database whose birth, marriage, and death dates are inconsistent or improbable -- such as marrying after they die, living to be 176 years old, or a woman giving birth at age three? Make certain that your database includes sources for all information. Your sources might range from a family Bible entry to a vital record, military record, or an interview with a much older cousin. All are your sources and represent how you came to know these pieces of informa- tion you have included in your file. Even thought there might be 10 incorrect (and unsourced) databases with the same individual for whom you have listed a source in your file, your inclusion of a verifiable source will help to outweigh incorrect data in the other family trees.

How about we all do some brick or stone wall postings then? We all have them... You never know we might find some connections out there with a new found cousin or 2... Look forward to seeing you soon. Linda and Tony (List Admin)

Hello all listers We have recently been getting quite a few enquiries regarding burials in Alverstoke and Gosport and one of the questions has been where would X be buried. To answer the question we woud say this as this might help those who don't know or are uncertain. Firstly, St Mary's Alverstoke and Holy Trinity churchyard burials took place from the 1500's through to( in some cases) the 1970's. In addition there was the church in Elson St Thomas (Hardway to some on other documents such as census ) 1846-1927 was when the burials took place here. Also Forton St John burials were 1841-1879. Then there is the Municipal cemetery at Anns Hill where Alverstoke/Gosport burials took place from 1855 right through to the present day. We have fully transcribed the burials for Alverstoke 1714-1975 and these are available OFFLINE if you e-mail us. In addition Elson St Thomas is available ONLINE at our website www.knightroots.co.uk under parish registers and by clicking on G for Gosport 1846-1900 all the full details are there. Some of Forton St John are also ONLINE at our webiste but not all. In addition we have fully transcribed Anns Hill cemetery 1855-1953 and these are available OFFLINE (there are some 35,000+ entries here). We are more than happy to helps where we can and also for other areas where we have the fiche so please feel free to ask anytime but please no blanket searches as this would be too big a task. Please be as specific as possible re name/s and date/s or sorry but a non starter because of the number of churches. Take care,Linda and Tony
