Hi Gene,
You took me into a whole new realm on this one. Followed your instructions
(step by step :-) ) and really worked out well. Exactly what I was looking
for. I must say, I didn't even know you could display relationships like that.
Thank you for your time and detailed instructions. Very much appreciated.
With thanks,
Scott B

Scott,
Another way to do it would be to go to William’s screen and add a wife with
just the surname of Bulmer (the listed surname of the child and easier to check
for a birth record also), then when the marriage screen opens put a check mark
in the box “This couple did not marry”. In the marriage date put about 1878
and then in place use the census location. Change the status box to “Friends”.
This will change the labels so they don’t show Husband and Wife, but will show
Male and Female, will show the date and place (Friends) (Did not marry) and
will show “Partnership” on any reports. Then create the child Maud Mary Bulmer.
Then source all of these to the 1881 census. Then create the AKA for Maud M.
Marsh and cite the 1891 census, and an AKA for Maud Marsh Hingley and cite the
1901 census. So now you have a father and a mother with an unknown first name.
You could do a search in the 1871 census for the Bulmer surname to see if you
find any candidates for a female around the same age as William and see if the
Marsh family is also in the same area. If the child was in the Marsh home and
William was the father, perhaps the mother died in childbirth and there may
also be a death record to search for.
Hope this helps.

Scott,
To properly do this [in my opinion], is to attach Maud to her true father
William [even if he was only 16 at the time] and with an unknown [for now]
mother. Legacy can handle this and when you go back to William and look at the
child settings, you can then select from the list that Maud was illegitimate.
She will show as Maud M. Marsh due to her fathers surname, and if done
properly, Elizabeth Marsh should show up as her grandmother. You can add the
name changes under the AKA label, and show the source as the 1901 census for
the Maud Marsh Hingley entry.

Hoping someone can guide me thru how to enter the following information
correctly.
William Henry Marsh b1862 has an illegitimate child, Maud Mary Bulmer, in 1878.
She appears as a boarder in the 1881 census with William, his siblings and
mother, Elizabeth Marsh (a widow). In 1888 William marries and moves on, but
Maud appears in the 1891 census as Maud M Marsh, daughter of William's mother,
and in 1901, after Elizabeth Marsh marries Timothy Hingley, Maud appears as
Maud Marsh Hingley.
I sure would appreciate some help. When I try to do it, it begins to look like
Elizabeth had 3 husbands and one was her son....not good!
Thank you for any help,
Scott B
