I have Family Historian to record my tree.
It gives hints linked with FMP and it also gives hints for My Heritage.
OH's great-grandfather William Henry Lamb was born in Whitby in 1829. He married a girl from Whitby in 1871 but he is absent from Whitby in 1851 and 1861 and I haven't found him elsewhere in England.
He was a tobacconist and I wondered if he might have gone abroad. His father died of cholera in 1832 and he was in the workhouse for a while. His mother remarried, only to die very painfully in 1851.
I am now getting matches for him through My Heritage :

I'm also getting matches from FMP which are exactly the same.
Is anyone able to view these records? I'm useless with American records as I don't use them much at all.
