Add GRO Source
Not quite. Information comes from local registration offices which sends the details to GRO. Not all details arrive some are missing. The marriages of my mother's two sisters are not in the GRO index.

Name conflict with an existing file
When I save a media file I save it in my document folder. I then copy it into FH. Should I change my mind and delete the FH copy it always remains in my document folder unless I choose to delete that
