Find Ancestors

Thanks stuart i wonder were i got the info on valerie from anyhow ive found a member who has rose daniels in his tree so i hope he can help me

I've never looked in "Relatives" before but have done now. It tells you how many people in your tree, has each listed individually on Pages 1-10 and more pages (rather like a long thread). If you then click on each person it will show you what details you have inputted about them and you can click on a link to see if there are other records about them ie do they appear in any census etc and also in any other trees. So another way at looking at the people in your tree without opening your tree and a short cut to checking if they are in anyone else's tree rather than go through 'search trees"
Need a longer play with it to see more precisely what it can give you, but I think whatever you see you must have put it in there in the first place.

Its in Relatives file
so who put this in there

i must have clicked on keepsafe or something at the top of the page as i found this family there with these dates yes they are related to me
as percys parents were
edmund b1879 stoke damerel devon m may louse bailey 1905
she was born 1885 portsmouth they had 3 children

Ancestry has two trees, look as if the same person has both, but the trees are not public.

Joyce, I have no idea what this timeline is. My feeling would be to research the family yourself, using freebmd and other resources.
How have you come to be looking at the family - is one of them a direct ancestor?

I havent used this site for ages as my sight is getting poor
I found this on Timeline on this site with these children

Also ive tried to add them to my own tree which i cant seem todo now somehow since its all changed its a lot harder to add children
what am i doing wrong

I think it unlikely that Percy fathered a child at 13 years of age.
I cannot see a birth for a Valerie in 1924 or 1942 (or anywhere in between). Must have been dropped by a passing spaceship!

Even if he married twice would he really have had a child in 1924 if he was only born in 1911

FRom the above site:

Marriages Jun 1938
Daniels Rose McDowell Portsmouth 2b 1545
McDowell Percy E Daniels Portsmouth 2b 1545

You can use surname McDowell and MMN Daniels to check for births.

Also check other members' trees using search box above - you can then contact tree owner if there are matches.

Not entirely sure what your query is Joyce.
Might it help to look up marriage and births on Freebmd? Easy enough to do:

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Where did you see this?
