Hi Chris thanks for that, I have been so busy finding my people I didn't look any further. I am sure a lot of people on here already knew about this HW facility but it was new for me and has pointed me in a new direction!

I have been looking for someone in London with the middle family name of Mason, and discovered this site which was very helpful. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb*com/~hughwallis/IGILondon/M/Mason.htm You should put the initial of the name you are looking for instead of the M and the name instead of the Mason, and of course . instead of * This gives you all the entries on the IGI, under the years they cover, for that middle name in London and Middlesex. I don't know if they have this for other areas. Good luck.
