Image by image everything may be present but some indexed as Rd whilst others are Road or St versus Street is a major flaw. Don't get me started on the problems with the likes of Newland Street West. The transcribers think the 'Street' part is the end of the address and then create an entirely new city that never existed.

Have you tried just putting in Newland, Glen? The search is much fuzzier than it used to be, and since you get a tick once you've looked at a page, you can find what's missing and what you haven't looked at.

Or could it be that the transcriber transcribed the whole address and then the software parsed it wrongly?
