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.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Entering adoptions
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
