I want to look at all the Jame's (1st name) born Middlesex between 1825 and 1840, with surname begining with 'B'. It won't let me, but there must be a way? If I put in Jame's there are over 40,000, I am looking for BU and that goes over the 2000 restriction mark, can anyone help pls.

You could view each year seperately & not altogether, this might help!

Kim, You have to put in at least 3 characters before you use a wildcard. Crista

Kim What's the full name you're looking for? Often it's the first letter of a name that has been mistranscribed rather than the rest of the name.

Helen, I am still trying to find my James Buddell! Think I have found him on 1871 in Titchfield as James Buddle age 34 (but even then not sure), Coachman, which ties in with his son's birth in 1858. He was born Middlesex NK! But hoping to find him on 1861, or anyway really! Kim
