The transcribed records are just that - "nothing added, nothing taken away"

so unless it was recorded in the register, the search facility will not be able to find it - sorry.

The older the record typically the "lighter" the information given, e.g. the UK census taken before 1841 was basically a head count, 1841 recorded names but no relationships, 1851 started to record relationships in households,...

The trick is building up multiple pieces of evidence to support your research and "branch", i.e. census data, parish records, family bible, family artefacts etc
