Poplar Parish records

Libby, click on your user name at the top of the screen and select "Site preferences", then scroll down to the bottom to find "Search Preferences" and tick the box for "Use category exact mode (simulates old search)" and click on the "Update Preferences" button.

And make sure to tick the "Match all terms exactly" box when you search.

The "category exact" thing should mean that when you do a search, you get a "Categories" tab to click on that gives you a list of databases with the number of matches for each, similar to how the old search organised its results.

Also, I find that whenever I do a search, the first time it defaults some of the fields to "broad match" so I get millions of results, but all I do is to click on "Edit Search", change nothing at all, click on "Search" again and it will come back with just the exact matches.

Hope this helps!

Looking at the indexes, GWGH's birth was registered in Poplar in the first quarter of 1860, so he may have been born in 1859. Can't find a match in the London records, though.

Thank you. Kate, I'll try that.

Val......I haven't got an email from you on my computer, but it may be on my old address which is on Lawrie's. I'll have a look. Thank you.
I will ring you.

Shona.....I've no idea where GWGH is in the missing years.

William Huband (born 1824 Stonehouse) is the son of my ggg grandparents William and Agness Huband (nee Horswill).

He marries Mary Ann Finn in Stepney in 1855, and they are on the census from then on.

His sister, Sarah Tracey Huband marries John Campbell in Plymouth in 1842 and has a son, John GODFREY Campbell in 1843. I assumed the Godfrey must have come from the Campbell side, but I got excited when I found the birth of GWGH in 1860 and presumed he belonged to William and Mary Ann.
