i've found numerous missing ancestors by using flexible and vague search parameters to account for mis-spellings, mis-transcriptions, illegible entries etc.
Search using just christian names or just surnames, known ages, birth places (also subject of awful spelling though) and searching the location they were expected to be, especially search for those family members with the least common names, rather than always searching for the head of the household who is usually called Thomas in my case.
