Fine - good idea anyway

I've downloaded and backed up  my 30 credits' worth and sent it to OH and myself via e-mail 

Not printed it though!

Is there anywhere it says if the whole of a county is available?

Bucks is supposed to be there but I've tried and tried to find my Russells and I'm having no luck whatsoever. They had a few younger children, so I've had several names to go at but just can't find them on the free search.

They were in Medmenham in 1901 and still there in 1908 when youngest child Violet was born - and both parents died there. So, unless they suddenly upped sticks to another part of the country for a couple of years, they've been missed off!!

I'm one of the lucky ones then, a good portion of my tree is in Staffordshire,
I have found 8 children born between 1901 and 1910, 3 more spouses.
I had no trouble with the site.
Like all PPV sites it is expensive so you have to be sure of what you are looking for.

Now I will wait with baited breath for the Lancashire pages to find my maternal grandmother's place of birth .She was married to my grandfather by this time and I cant find her birth. [ I had the same trouble waiting for the 1901 census having searched every nook and cranny of Lancashire. Only to discover in the 01 census that he was born in Staffordshire, which opened the floodgates.

I'm wondering if the name Russell has been mistranscribed somehow but I can't figure out how to use any wildcards etc?

hows the downloading going ?


Search tips from the site were copied into this thread earlier .... 

[jillruss]

Sorry - must have missed them - I'll have another look. 

Haven't found anything to download yet!!

I think I may as well give up for now - no wildcard searching as yet and at the moment you have to search on surname, so there's no chance of finding them just on birthplace or another detail! All I can think is that my surname has been hideously mistranscribed. Curses!!

I wonder if some parishes are not there.

I cant find Twickenham in London or Middlesex. Can anyone else find it? Or would Twickenham appear under some other location?
