The name searchable freebmd is quick to search, its the later dates that arent yet covered by them that takes the time, looking through the complete ancestry index quarter by quarter.

Do a few practice runs on freebmd.

I use IE 7 which has the tab facility at the top of the screen. I open Ancestry 3 or 4 times so that I can keep a census open whilst looking for further information. It's easier because that way you can cross reference.

Hi
No you are not dim at all and I don't think you are doing anything wrong.
Maybe some peeps use FreeBMD to look up a marriage as it is quicker.
