FMP synched with Family Historian
I have Family Historian and I think I have mentioned before I get hints.
For example, underneath a name in my tree in a circle I get a number. If I click on it I get hints from FMP and also links to My Heritage matches. Some of the hints can be stupid. The usual scenario, a marriage long after the person has died etc. However, it can be very useful. I have two sisters in my tree - Mary Jane Jackson and Emma Jackson, sisters of my great-grandmother Ellen. Mary Jane married John Mayor in 1867. They had two children, John Henry and Sophia. However, Mary Jane died in 1878. Then Emma obviously went to help out with the children and she is with John Mayor after that. I was idly looking at the hints and an Isle of Man marriage kept popping up, so I clicked on it. First name(s) John Last name Mayor Sex Male Marital status Widowed Marriage year 1885 Marriage date 24 Sep 1885 Marriage place Douglas Parish St George Denomination Anglican Spouse's first name(s) Emma Spouse's last name Jackson Spouse's sex Female Spouse's marital status Single Father's first name(s) James Father's last name Mayor Spouse's father's first name(s) Henry Spouse's father's last name Jackson County Isle of Man Country Isle of Man Source Isle of Man Marriages 1598-1950 So they obviously popped over to the Isle of Man where no-one knew them to marry, as it would have been illegal to marry in England. I don't know if it was a legal marriage in the Isle of Man. I don't think I would have found this myself, so it was a very welcome discovery! |
