Thanks both. I think, with the "slowness" problem on GR I need to be looking at another browser anyway, and perhaps ditching this steam powered laptop!

Works for me, I use Google Chrome

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Works OK for me.
However, I have my browser set to open links in a new tab, so problems with popups don't arise for me anyway.
Sorry it's not much help.

A friend pointed me to a free area on another well known research site which had or has lists of middle names which can, she says, be useful.

I have accessed the site on several occasions but when I try to use the search facility (select County - okay) select first surname letter....my pop up blocker kicks in.

I have deactivated my pop up blocker and it still blocks the next step. I can't see how this can happen when i've definitely de-activated the blocker. (I know that sounds daft but it's true)

I just wonder if anybody uses this site and knows the area i'm on about and can tell me if it works for them. Thanks. Malc.
