Thanks I will try that.
Another really annoying thing is when you enter a name and you know the middle name initial say in John D Smith. But it says none found then you enter without the middle name initial and it brings up a lot of possibles. When you trawl through there's yours with the name David.
Doesn't it know that David starts with a D.
Nope, cos it's stoopid
Not sure it would help for a name as common as Smith, but try this. Looking for 'Barbara E Ives' - enter Barbara E in first name and untick the 'exact' box for first name. Ives in the surname box and search. First result is for Barbara Eliza Ives, and I've double checked that she is only the Barbara E on that census. With a name like Smith, you could try narrowing results by adding other info - searching for John D Smith this way, gives nearly half a million results
