Thanks Brian for your comment. This was in the early 1900s in Nottingham and my great aunt's occupation was a lace runner in the Lace Mill's.
But that hasn't answered my basic question, how am I going to enter this same sex relationship. I never even considered such a thing before? What's also concerning me is that I've only just bought Legacy 7.5 and of yet to receive the actual package of discs. I would hate to think that I have to drop it because I cannot get the data into it because overall I think it's a great program and for the first time am I've been able to use a sensible filing system for my papers.
