	As Heather said A useful extra search if you have a suspected surname as a middle name. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb(.)com/~hughwallis/ Scroll down to 'IGI Middle Name Indexes' and follow the instructions. Chris

	Have you tried looking for a surname as a middle name?. ..It might guide you to a marriage..... If you put * then the surname in the first -name search box on freebmd,and NOTHING else, you may find some births, marriages and deaths of interest.
