  • Tip: If names appear not to match the search criteria then check More info as there will be a match with the New Tax Payer entry
  • Tip: The wildcard (%) is applied by default to the right hand side of all search terms To obtain more results, keep your search terms to a minimum e.g. to find all variations for Stephen, search for 'St' in the forename field. Or to find all results for the 1790s, search for '179' in the Year field.
  • Tip: Parish names should be entered as in other searches e.g. 'Juliot, St.' rather than 'St Juliot' but, as explained above, 'Jul' would be sufficient
  • Tip: Click on the column headings to sort in alphabetical/ascending order
