Wow! Well done, Ozibird. I've been searching and searching with no luck.

I just used the surname & St Neots in keyword. Sometimes less is better.

Guess I'm never too old to learn. I have never used that keyword box, I was putting St. Neots in birthplace box. Didn't work.
Thanks, Ozibird, guess we're on the right board for this. A great tip!

Margaret, I use keywords all the time. Often posters will put a registration place because they find the index but of course people may be born/married/died anywhere within it. I find using the district box doesn't always work.
