« on: Monday 27 January 14 15:46 GMT (UK) »
I always have some difficulty on finding any thing on this site I put Willoughby baptist in and click images but all I get is text from books what am I doing wrong.
I am try to find Richard Dixon/Dixson/Dickson born1729 maybe Willoughby Lincs area near Alford.

In the search field type Willoughby baptism 1729 and when you get a result click on images and go from there. If this comes up blank try going a year either side, 2 years either side, etc.

If this fails type in Willoughby Par 1, click on the Registers link of the parish you are interested in, go to the bottom of the page and click on 'Browse the 2 records at the level below this one', this will then give you a list of the registers available. Select the one you want and go through page by page or type in a page number if you want to jump a bit.

Not every page has an indexed date agaoinst it.

I'm convinced the Lincs website was designed by a sadist…even if you can get past the bizarre search facility you have to wrestle with the very frustrating magnifying glass.  What a shame it hasn't been indexed properly, as there's probably good stuff in there.

If you are using Chrome just enlarge the print size on your page by using the zoom. I use 125% for normal pages and 250% for Lincs the Past , no problem then.
Bizarre search facility?? just put the place in the box with Baptism, marriage or burial and look at the pages it brings up, find the register you need that covers the dates you need and away you go...
. Much easier to sit at home and do it in comfort, than as we used to! Yes there is excellent "stuff" in them.
 I am thrilled with the site and only wish other counties would do it too.
