Quite agree, fab3bird. I think they have missed a trick by not having a field for year of birth etc. While trying to find someone in the 1911 census (I failed!) I was left feeling that I am going to have to brush up on my mental arithmetic.

Searched for a death for Catherine Graham ms Ormiston and accordingly put in these details. It came up with 66 pages of results! Eventually got there by searching for Catherine Ormiston (missing out the Graham part) and cross referenced for a death for Catherine Graham in that year(1904)  and location (Plantation). It was a bit of a fankle but I think the reference numbers could prove to be useful as it was the same for both entries.

Carol, there is a saved images button right at the top of the page. All the images I have looked at over the years are there -just haven't worked out how to use the filter!

Ah thanks, I saw that yesterday,but with new sign in details it didn't seem to recognise me as the same person! I will look again later.

I am taking the easy option --- sitting back and letting you all do the work,  and appreciate all your comments...
It will help me to understand how to tackle it -  when I dare :)
