Re: Ernest Allen
So is this the wrong Dob details ??
And what do I add her as on bcc
Morgan or Brockhouse ??
Dob
Nellie Morgan
Registration Date 1894
Quarter of the Year Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration Place West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England
Volume 6b Page 887
Also I can't work out how I add her sister Jane Elizabeth Brockhouse so she's doesn't connect to Anne's husband Joseph Morgan ?

Re: Ernest Allen
The children need adding as Brockhouse, although I can't see a birth for Nellie either.
To add to the tree, you need to add a partner for Annie, as Unknown Unknown, not married and change the order, of partnership, so that needs to be 1 and Joseph 2.
Then you can add the children to Unknown.
