Is there any way of searching by birthplace on the 1911? I can't see it if there is!

just birthplace and nothing else?

Do you mean searching by birthplace only OC? Don't think that's possible.

JayG · #4 30-09-09, 21:00

Only way I can see is searching A - Z wildcard with the POB, but that will take sometime!

You can put in the birthplace you want and then the following in the surname (or forename) box:

*a*
*e*
*i*
*o*
*u*
*y*

with the 'wildcard' box ticked (click 'show advanced fields' to get to that bit)

This should give you all names unless something has been transcribed with no vowels or y

Oh, lol!

No, I'm looking for a Mrs Brown, born France with a son called William Alfred Brown, born London about 1900.

And that is ALL I know, folks! I've searched 1901 and cannot find one with a French mother, but his birth date is a possibly moveable feast anyway, so I was trying to match up French women called Mrs Brown in 1901 with 1991 to see if they had a son Willia.

(Well, it makes sense to me....)

OOH, thanks Merry!

I was sure it was going to be Juliette and Alfred Brown who are together in 1901 and 1911 but they don't have any children inthe house in 1911

Boarding school???? lol
