Hi Listers, I have just upgraded my FTM software to 2008 since I am now using Windows Vista on a new larger Hard Disk Drive. The product loaded properly, but did not ask me to register the product or activate the 3 months free subscription to Ancestry.co.uk. I clicked on help an accessed these two items. I got the message: Authentication with the server failed. I have checked my connection, firewall and protocols - they show FTM 2008 allowed. I use Windows Live OneCare as it integrates very well with Windows. The program did update the latest software patch automatically. I seem to have checked what I believe to be the obvious, and as administrator, I did click "Allow" this program when asked. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Annoyingly, I get the "Authentication with the server failed" dialogue box appearing constantly, when using the program. I have noticed that on my purchase invoice it says: Family Tree Maker 2008 Deluxe for Ancestry Customers. I am not currently a member! Is it a condition of use to be a member first? Should it not allow the free subscription to be registered anyway? I also noticed that my tree database was loaded to their website without asking my permission! Any help greatly appreciated.

Robin, A very poor collection of the De La Warr archives in extremely bad condition was deposited in ESRO in the late 1970s. I do not know if it has been conserved and catalogued but you could enquire via email to ESRO to see the current state of play with the collection. Mrs Judy Brent and myself retrieved the collection from what was in effect a barn at Buckhurst; it was extremely fragile and fragmentary but there may be some household records among the archives. The other major collection is that of the Sackville family which was at Kent Archives office and which is, I believe, catalogued on the A2A website but you would need to check. Kent Archives is also contactable via email.

Hi Alan, Missing father's names from marriage certificates post July 1837 is very uncommon and the usual reason is that the fathers were unknown, i.e, the person was illegitimate. The most common error was the parties giving an incorrect age. Mistakes sometimes did occur in recording and I would suggest that you check the original record whether it be at a church or local register office to see in the Register General's copy is in error. Remember that the RG copy is in fact a third hand copy if the wedding was performed at a church so mistakes could occur. If the marriage was by license then check both the allegation and bond to see if the missing information can be found. Alternately, check for the birth/baptism record of the parties. Birth certificates should be the most accurate seeing as it was usually the parent who registered the event, followed by marriages; death records are often the most unreliable as the informant was often someone other than a relative who did not have fu! ll and accurate information. Hope that this helps.

I have just received a certificate for a marriage in 1840 and was very disappointed to see that neither of the fathers were named. There was only one witness named. Were certificates often "incomplete" in the early years or is this an isolated case?

Hello Listers. If there is anyone making an in depth study of the De La Warr (Sackville) family,particularly in the early part of the 19th century, then I would be delighted to hear from them. I am interested as a story has come down through my family that it might be related to the Sackville family via a 'master/servant' relationship which is what my grandfather said he was told by his grandmother, the servant in question. For a start it would be nice to find out if the 'servant', my 2xgreat-grandmother, did work for the De La Warr family. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.. Many thanks. Robin

Hi Diane Only if they are listed as witnesses, sometimes the father was already dead but they omitted to say this, probably because no one asked! They were only asked who their father was.

Just a thought, after all these years studying Certificates. When a Bride and Bridegroom's parents are named on Certificates, does it mean they were present at the wedding ? Diane 10813

By chance I was contacted from the USA as a result of my posting on Ancestry by gedcom from my 'Legacy' FHprogramme. The result is that I have been bombarded with the most useful background research of my maternal Gmother's family NOAKES and its connection to the GURR family in Lamberhurst (Sussex/Kent). I am now seeking members of the GURR family descended from Annie Elizabeth Noakes, born 1859, who married William Gurr (a widower) and butcher in Lamberhurst IN 1884. ANNIE E was sister of Kate, (sometime Catherine) Noakes born 1862, my Gmother and husband of John Lucas born 1860 and sometime coachman to Lord St Oswald of Nostell Priory. All help appreciated Michael Lucas SFHG 12279

Yes, I have details about Taid's (Welsh for Grandpa) adoptive family, that's not the problem. What I want to know is how did he come to be adopted by a Barmouth family when he was born in Anglesey and his mother came from Ffestiniog where his grandparents were still living? I want to find a connection between the two families and places - what do I look for? Did any of the churches get involved in adoptions in the 1880's? I think I've said what I mean this time.

Hello listers Would someone be able to help me with children born to Samuel VINE & Elizabeth BALDOCK who married at Burwash, Sussex in 1774. Any help is appreciated very much. Regards Denise in Australia no. 9928

Not a Sussex question this time as I'm trying to find out more about my Welsh grandfather Richard John Walter Jones. I have his BC and have found him (one month old) and his mother in the 1881 census still at his birthplace in Llanidan on the island of Anglesey. His mother came from Ffestiniog and he was 'adopted' by Ann and Lewis Rees of Barmouth and grew up as Richard Jones Rees. here should I start looking? Jenny 11474

Hello from NZ I just want to thank the folk that replied about Maurice WOODHATCH, I should have thought of that. Also thanks Mark for the site about Thomas HEAD in Norfolk Island. Just has a wee look at the site but will look into more in a few days, rushed of my feet these days and we are meant to slow down when we retire, (thats a joke for a start) Once again many thanks always nice to read the Sx messages what a busy group we are. Regards Kay 8111 Christchurch NZ

Apologies if you have already received this. I believe that there is a lady on this list who is researching the MOON family in Frant. We were briefly in touch some years ago and would be delighted if she would contact me again. Many thanks. Robin
