Amber

if all else fails, you don't even need any name!!!


you can search on birth year +/- 5, plus birth county and birth place

OR county of residence and place of residence

OR father's christian name and/or mother's christian name


Can work very well if they are living in a small place .................


you do end up having to search through pages of entries seeing if you can spot the badly mis-spelled surname or the possible marriage.
