The search system here needs improving. I tend to enter the place of birth as something like "Bolton, Lancashire". If I search on a surname with just "Bolton" or "Lancashire" then it will not show a match. I would expect the search engine to look for any match with the word in the "Place of Birth" field rather than an exact match. MB
