Cross your heart and all that, Newf  :)

Did you honestly just search on George Wright, Hull/Kingston upon Hull/Sculcoates, etc. or did you put in the reference  ???

what a strange question !  ???

I always keep 'Exact Searches' ticked  - was curious if it would include the man in the hitlist.


why would I try and fudge a search ?


For goodness sake !


As Lizzy is adamant about things, why not just leave it ?

Not really strange - I was wondering how you managed to get it and we didn't - I did it as you say you did it  ???

The only way I could get the ref up was by putting in the full reference - so I'm puzzled by it.

No offence meant.

Gadget - to satisy your 'satiable curiousity'* ....

Exact Matches ticked - which on a previous response you said you hadnt ... gives this hitlist.


Admittedly, one has to know that Sculcoates is Hull..


 George Wright Maria abt 1852  St Faith, Norfolk, England Head  Heckmondwike, Yorkshire 

 George Wright Maria J abt 1851  Hackney, London, England Head  Scarborough, Yorkshire 

 George Wright Ellen Maria abt 1856  Suffolk, England Head  Wakefield, Yorkshire 

 George W Wright Maria abt 1871  Rawmarsh, Yorkshire, England Head  Rawmarsh, Yorkshire 

 George W Wright Maria abt 1858  London, England Head  Sculcoates, Yorkshire
