Due to popular demand, we've now managed to integrate a surname-only search into the master search system. It is only for premium subscribers (if you only have a trial version, you will need to buy a full subscription to use this feature).
It will allow you to see results per year, then results per county, then the whole list of results (provided there are 50 or less, otherwise you'll need to put in a forename or age).
We've also added database birth, marriage and death records (1984-2004) to the master search.
All customers, including pay-as-you-go, can
also do a surname- or forename-only search in the normal census
transcript county search page provided there are
50 or less results. An advanced search lets you refine and
view the entries.

A number of our subscribers have been asking for a name search on all our databases.
As a major step towards this we have just launched our Master Search which works on all our completed census transcripts - premium subscribers should see the new link on their subscription page.
Just type in a name and you find out approximately how many results there are for each year. Clicking the 'Full Search' button then takes you to a list of results for each county.
If you click to the next level you'll reach the usual county/year search page with all the results for that county.
We hope this will prove a valuable and time-saving feature and as new transcripts are completed we will add them into the master search.
