New Features for All-inclusive Subscribers

Due to popular demand, we've now managed to integrate a surname-only search into the master search system. It is only for all-inclusive 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.

Master Search: Search for a name in all our completed census transcripts at once

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 - all-inclusive 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.

Not got an all-inclusive subscription? Use the link on the front page to give the Master Search a try. (Not available if you have already had an all-inclusive subscription).

New Search Features

Use this option to search for different spellings of a name. For example, Bailey and Bayley. This technique uses the phonetical sound of the word to find similar sounding matches.

Nicknames

Use this option to search for nicknames which may have been used instead of the standard name - for example Betty, Betsy, Beth or Liz for Elizabeth.

Indexes which have these features will show a checkbox alongside the appropriate name entry fields so you can include them if you wish.
