Don't know whether it will help or not, but my first suggestion is that you either move it or copy it to My Documents. You may have a firewall that is disallowing external access to My Computer.

Also check the size of the image. There is a size limit for uploading so you might have to open it in a graphics prog and reduce it first. If you haven't got one, PM me with your email and I'll send you an email that you can reply to with the image attached. I will reduce it for you and send it back.

Does that mean if you do put something in that field and do a search (that hasn't had mothers maiden name indexed) you will get no results?

.....much snipped........

For the moment, yes, but hopefully to be tweaked at some future point so that all hits will be returned including those where there is no data in the mother's maiden surname field in the index.

Following instructions Mary,
When I saved it I looked in My Documents and it was not there. Looked in My Computer and there it is. I went into Gallery, followed instuctions, and when it went into my PC, It started on My Documents, not there, so clicked to My Comuter and there it is. I feel there is something missing in my PC. I watch it trying to upload but it is unable to do it. In the end I get a large ERROR message.
As I said I can send it anywhere but through the Gallery.

I've just uploaded this file for Lizzie. It's called 1825 OPR Marr 13 Jan Donald McCrae fixed.jpg, so if Admin clear it, that would be great

The right hand column just seems to be the surnames of the couples, i.e. MacCrae to MacCrae, etc...

Thank you so much Mary,

I am looking for the words after Donald Macrae and Ann Macrae.

There is two dates of the same couple - 1st. 28 Dec 1820 Lochcarron
2nd. 13 Jan 1925 which is this image.

Cannot make out what the two words are after Ann Macrae?

On that entry it seems to say Jeantown, but two other entries above and below have Janetown,

"JANETOWN, a village, in the parish of Lochcarron, county of Ross and Cromarty, 1 mile (S.) from Lochcarron; containing 513 inhabitants. It is situated on the eastern shore of the Carron loch, an arm of the sea into which falls the Carron water about two miles northward of the village. From a very small hamlet consisting of only three families, it has risen latterly into comparative importance, in consequence, principally, of the division of land into lots. The high road from Dingwall to the western coast passes through; and there is a post-office, where the mails arrive three times a week. On the Carron is a good salmon-fishery.

Hi Lizzie
Looks like a place name to me - I know very little about that area, but it looks to me like Jeantown. I'm sure someone with more local knowledge will know where/what it is.

Best wishes

Once again thank you for all your trouble Mary, I know I am no further forward proving if these two are indeed my ggg grandparents. There is something I could never figure out or find anything of Margaret Macrae's parents from the answers she gave at the Maternity Hospital where she gave birth to her illegitimate daughter in Edinburgh April 1853. The question asks of Margaret Macrae (Father's name, Occupation, Alive or dead. FATHER'S PRESENT OR LAST RESIDENSE - Answer - DINGWALL) When asked her place of birth she states KINTAIL, DINGWALL. I searched this information thoroughly I thought at the time and now comes this new information from this marriage record. Back to the drawing board!
