That is  very  interesting to read

Does  anyone  know or admit to what streets or areas are  missing?,  whilst I have their info  my paternal  grandparents  and their children are  all missing which  means  I  can't  find  my father

I wasn't able to find my grandmother with any certainty.  She was a childless widow whose parents were both dead, and she isn't with her brothers or her future husband's (my grandfather) family.  Her first husband had died of the Spanish flu and his parents were already dead when they married.

It was quite exciting to find someone of the right name, age and birthplace with a family of the same surname as my grandfather, whom she would marry a couple of years later.  Was this a previously unknown branch of my family?  "Widow" didn't come up as a match, but you can't rely on every detail being entered or transcribed correctly, so I squandered £3.50 on the image.  But alas, it wasn't her.

Further to this, I tried again, putting "widowed" rather than "widow" and this time I got a result.  But when I downloaded the image - she wasn't there.  There was nobody who remotely matched my search.  Two people with the correct surname, both male.  One widow with entirely different names, who was included in the preview anyway. 

How could they get it so wrong?  I'll be seeking a refund.
