If anybody has discovered a good combination of options when searching for a specific result then please share the example of how you did the search with us.

If you are able to find some records on the original search facility but not on the advanced search you will need to take a closer look at the search operators (contains, start with, etc.) and possibly make changes. At the same time be aware what you are inputting into the search box so it will marry up with the search operator you have chosen in order to get a desired result.

Year

Parents Surname

Child Forenames

Fathers Forenames

Mothers Forenames

Mothers Surname

Parish Chapel

seems to cover both forename and surname for the Mother (?)

I can't see a field for Marriage, Burial or Baptism ?

should do it !

the r[??] ones will always be a search nightmare ! afterall the transcriber has filled the blanks

However I had to do 3 searches for this search as when I first put in the name Richard it did not pick out any that are in the database as Rich[ar]d or
R[ichar]d. I was using the name Aston so the search gave me all in database which included these letters ie Baston and others.

I hope this input will help

You will need to look around and and try different combinations of searching yourself as it is not something I can write a list of instructions about.

If you do get a little confused about anything then do not send me an email but post a message with your query in this thread as other people may have the same question and they can also read any answers any of us post.

Enjoy
