death if it is the right Sarah

Year of registration: 1889
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Age at death:45
Volume no: 1C Page no: 67

Was it Thurleston Grange Derbys is so my friends parents live there now and they have records of past people who lived there so I will see what I can find.

Jill, this is the advice I was given from MarieCeleste when I was using Internet Explorer and getting the big gaps. It worked.

Alviegal - if you're using IE8 then to stop all that white space there is a little icon that looks like a piece of torn paper - it's next to the website address bar at the top. Click on that until and it changes colour, then click on it for any other tabs you have open.

Then when you copy and paste in future the spaces should be gone.

(Or download a different browser!)

Don't know how to post from A but sometimes a record will cut and paste neatly on here and sometimes it spreads out with big gaps.

For those, I paste onto an e-mail and choose paste rather than paste as plain text. It should paste nice and nearly but if not and you get the gaps still, it is much easier to delete the gaps in an e-mail page. Whichever way I've done it I then copy and paste onto here.

patchem, yes that was the way I thought you would have to do it. I thought PollyPoppet was suggesting that you can do it in one go. I must have got my wires crossed.

From ancestry, you can then add the other details one-by-one. (A little work)
You can also tidy up the entry by removing e.g.'Name Age' and/or putting some details on the same line.

I must be missing something. If I copy the 1871 census, from the printer friendly page on ancestry, for John Booth I get this:

bit of long shot tried it with similar spelling and found this

Thanks PollyPoppet. I thought maybe you guys knew of a way to do it in one go. I guess you must have to do it one person at a time. I shouldn't be so lazy.

point your cursor on writing and hold on let button the writing will go blue copy what you want then in the blue right click and you will see copy click on that and then go to where you want to click again and you will see paste click on that and it should paste it
hope that helps
PP :-D

PollyPoppet, Thanks.

How do you guys paste the census info here? I have to type it in manually as I can't figure out how to copy the details from ancestry.co.uk.

Well spotted Patchem!!

patchem, I don't know about the original marriage. I haven't looked for that before.

However I just remembered that John Booth was alive on February 14, 1877 as he was a witness to a marriage. So, unless him and Sarah got divorced, the Kirby marriage must be wrong.

Unless he died, and Sarah too, I think they may have moved to London from Worcester sometime between 1871 - 1872. Just a theory though.

Is this the original marriage?
Marriages Sep 1863
BOOTH John Mt. Harbro 7a 19
Nicol Sarah Martha York Mt Harbro 7a 19

Thanks for the latest marriage info.

That's interesting because James and Sarah Kirby are in Islington for the 1881 census which is where Sarah Booth's son Henry is.

That sounds right but kills a pet theory I have. Oh well.

I don't think the John and Sarah Booth 1881 census above is right. Their birth places and ages are wrong.

Thanks anyway.
