Hi All I am still trying to work the computer, latest problem is I save an image of the census I have a folder for each of the years yet when I go to look at it well it just not there I search did searches ect yet if I go to save it again it does say do I wish to overwrite existing image. Well I getting of the subject I just got Doris Gertrude Barnes nee Gillings death certificate she died in 1978 & the informant is given as son Peter Barnes where it asks for maiden name it has FISK which is strange as this was her mum's maiden name (FISKE) she wasn't the first child & her birth is registered under GILLINGS so anyone got any ideas why the name is given as Fisk. I have checked with the GRO & they have e-mailed me back to say that they check with Blyth & it was what was given, well I did wonder if the GRO made a mistake but no mistake been made or at least no official made a mistake just Peter who I believe was adopted am still waiting to hear more on him & I been told there was 3 adopted children so have to wait for that info. Regards Janice

Janice, I can't help you with your computer problems but maybe when Peter was asked for his mother's maiden name he possibly thought that he was asked for HER mother's maiden name. The information on death certificates is only as good as the informant gives (or knows).

Janice, I wonder if the reason you can't see the images you have saved is because you are looking for the wrong type of file or have saved them in a particular format that you can't read on your computer. What website have you saved the files from? and also do you know what type of file they are? e.g. jpeg or jpg after the name. A couple of things you could try: Go to the SEARCH facility - depends on what you are using - ( XP Vista etc ) but usually down on the bottom left of the screen. Type in the name of one of the files and if it finds something you should be able to open it or open the location of the file. If you tell me a bit more info about your computer I may be able to give you more help - no promises of success though!!
