Find Ancestors

Hi Vanessa,

I used Ancestry, just Christian name and birth year and place, then looked for likely matches.

After finding the 1871. I then used daughter Mary A, haven't found them in 1861 as yet

Hi Vicci - I have been using familysearch & freebmd, just having trouble with census stuff as search criteria on here is a bit limited!

Thanks to everybody for your help, I can fill in a few more gaps now.
Have a great weekend

Hi Vanessa,

Are you using Gr for the census info?

Ancestry is much more flexible as you can search with just Christian names or parents names etc. Makes them easier to find if they have been mistranscribed.

I believe you have to enter full names on Gr.

Hi Christine

Yes I have been using GR - as you say its quite inflexible when searching! I will have to have a look into Ancestry.

Thanks for your help today
