So...just to wrap my brain around this....
Elsie BENTLEY married her cousin John FOWKES in 1917?

His service records are also on Ancestry. He was the son of John and Susan ...born 1879. John (father) looks as though he was Annie Fowkes BENTLEY's brother.

Thanks,Chris!

Not really "with it" today. :-)

Maureen ;-) <3

Thanks to you all - for all your help.

Ddoes anyone know how to link up these tree members as I have Annie in two different places.........( hope that makes sense ).

No,Gill,that still doesn't make sense to me. :-S

Annie is in 2 different places? Where please?

Maureen

Thanks Maureen

I will try to explain my problem.

I am tracing the Fowkes family - so a couple of years ago, I had a JohnT Fowkes & siblings ( including his sister Annie Fowkes ) established in my tree.

I then discovered that John T Fowkes had a son John Henry Fowkes who married an Elsie Bentley - so I entered them on my tree.

Today, I realised that John Henry Fowkes was in fact the nephew of Tohn T Fowkes sister Annie Fowkes who is also the mother of Elsie Bentley - Annie Fowkes married Charles Enoch Bentley.

So on my tree, I am showing Annie Fowkes as sister of John T Fowkes married to Charles Bentley.
I am also showing John T Fowkes having a son John Henry Fowkes who married Elsie Bentley - but I cant pysically ( on my tree ) connect Elsie to her mum as then I would have two Elsies on my tree - not sure if that makes sense enough for you to visualise???

Help please - how do I round this connection on my tree - do I have to delete some 'characters' and re-enter?

OH!!!! THAT problem!!!

Sorry-dunno. I'm sure someone has come up with a "hint" in the past,though.

Best,
Maureen

I have the same problem in my GR tree - the inter-connected marriages cause a problem, I have 3 lots of inter-relations who appear on my tree twice. Will watch this space to see if anyone has a solution as I haven't found one!
