I got in easily, but is it complete? I've just looked for a few of mine that I KNOW are around in 1851 in Surrey, and I'm getting no matches. Bev x

Sussed it. Doesn't seem to like exact matches, and has ranked a perfect match - i.e. a perfectly spelt name and birth place as only 2 stars!!! Never mind .............. I am not complaining! Have fun all. Bev x

Gary I've just said exactly the same thing All the ones you found me at your local studies library aren't on there! Lou

Gary I thought loads of mine weren't there but they are, just well hidden! Place names are way out - all my Surrey rellies are listed as being in Kent and I'm getting no matches for Surrey! I'm also finding quite a sizeable piece of Gloucestershire seems to have migrated to Surrey ............... lol! Bev x

I've just added up how many names in each county. I rounded them all down to the nearest 1,000 so would need to add on about 20,000 to make a good average, but there are roughly 16½ million entries at the mo on the new 1851...... Thousands: Beds 123 berks 180 Bucks 164 Cambs 177 Ches 430 Corn 348 Cumb 196 Derb 301 Dev 564 Dor 177 Dur 389 Ess 346 Glo 449 Hamp 399 Here 114 Hert 161 Hunt 63 Kent 676 Lanc 1825 Leic 229 Linc 410 Midd 1869 Norf 441 Northa 205 Northu 299 Notts 274 Oxf 169 Rut 23 Salop 231 Som 437 Staff 618 Suff 332 Surr 640 Suss 319 War 476 Westm 55 Wilts 249 Worc 256 Yorks 1783 Merry
