or you could have tried Lock* and Minn* using the wild card symbol


GeordieLad .......... for you it would be All* or All*n .... that would catch both spellings


I find that easier than the phonetic box!

Glad to be of help - having had a number of problems finding people on my own tree (eg Allen vs Allan), I'm all too familiar with the 'phonetic' box on FreeBMD!

How about:

Minnie Lockyear, Sep qtr 1876, Lambeth 1d 328

Found on FreeBMD, using
Surname = Lockyer
First name = Min
Phonetic surnames switched on
