Advanced Searching

This functionality can help you to define your search more precisely. It gives you extra fields in which to enter search terms.

CAUTION
The indexes for the additional fields such as Where Born and Occupation do not contain standardised terms but an exact transcription from the census returns. These boxes should be used with caution as you may exclude the person that you are looking for simply by being too exact in your search criteria. Additionally, searching for "strings" (i.e. a word in a field) uses considerable database resources which may slow up searching. For more details see Where Born and Occupation.
