Hi Jenny Thought I would give this a go for 2 of my rellies. As per usual no such luck. Is it something I said!!! I think these two have been abducted, other than that they are still living. Ann

Hello I recently posted this in response to someone's query. It seemed to help one or two other people so I thought I'd post it again. If on IGI you put in only parents names either with or without mothers maiden name. Leave actual persons first & last names blank, then enter the year of marriage for the parents and a county. Add 20 years in the box and search. It should bring up all births in that county for the first twenty years of a couples marriage. Then trawl though answers to see which ones match or are close to your person and these are possible siblings. This has worked for me on several occasions. Or course like any info try and verify it at source ie Parish records. Hope this helps someone Best wishes Jenny
