Issac is a very common mis-spelling or mis-transcription for Isaac



One way round the problem is to use the wild card symbol *, which denotes one or more missing letters


so I would ask for Is*ac Smith

Yes thank you, sooo excited now, Yipee!! Stanley Smith (Isaac & Mathas's son) was my G-grandfather, he was born in the house on Tipping Street and all of his children (inc my grandmother) were also born there. My mother is gonna be sooo chuffed with this information as this really is the last line of my tree to trace right back as far as possible lol xxx

another tip when searching for a name when you are not sure of the spelling when using freebmd is to just put in the first 2 or even just the first letter. It will then give all the names beginning with that.

The same applies to cheshirebmd.org.uk which you may find useful if continuing backwards with your research
