Rosi is quite right, in that the indexing of 1837online has been tremendously improved. Now one only has to look at one page per quarter, as the page offered is that which must contain the full name you have entered. I tried this yesterday before an explanatory email arrived, and was very pleasantly surprised. Not that I found what I was searching for of course! But at least my failure was a lot cheaper.
