Migrated to the Inner Temple, Nov. 20, 1861. Called to the Bar, 1865. On the Midland Circuit; afterwards on the North Eastern Circuit. Of Redworth House, Clifton, York. Died Sept. 13, 1881, at York. Father of Philip S. (1890). (Index Soc. Publications, Obit. Notices, 1881.) --- I really don't want to create a whole list of events for the university stuff, but I suspect that things like admission to the bar would warrant their own event. I would create a University Event and and put the relevant parts of the information above into the Notes field. Then create Events for the other significant facts. I have used the Cambridge Alumni list from Ancestry as a Source and used the GenericOnline database SourceWriter template, copying all the text into the Source Detail Text field. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

RE: [LegacyUG] University attendance
I did this for myself as well when I went to University only a decade plus ago. Also included an extra Graduation event because when you are conferred with your degree, this usually takes place six months after the final exam. In my case I finished November 1999, conferred April 2000. Just a thought if you have this information.

Mark, It's a bit faster than that over here, exams usually finish in June and the graduation convocation in July.

RE: [LegacyUG] University attendance
How things differ. But still something to consider. Lots can happen between events.
