Google books online - check 'full view' - key in an area - or SURNAME / London - even the 'History of County .....' great reads or my example: MILLER - Farnham-Surrey for keywords used - My James MILLER also Customs - London Southampton - found these years [actual term: INLAND Revenue] in the Somerset area and think he the father of the George MILER I queried/ in Farnham as my other lines are in these 2 counties/ Somerset-Surrey, as well as London/Southampton/Hampshire Cnty. This Book - List of Certified Candidates 1855-1865 [p171] One can also - look and see 'text' version - and it will bring about 3-5 pages - scroll thru and Ur name will be highlighted still and one can hold cursor over and copy paste only what is needed - be sure to look at Cover and quote all as your source after extracting the information - [Not all are fully OCR'd into text so I captured image of page 171] .... the results are amazing - when U get to where U want to be U SHOULD write down the pages numbers /on note pad/and key in the page OR if U DL the whole book - pdf [and they are huge] One can go page to that page number list and key in only advancing about to 10 #'s [ie p112/maybe p125 in google numbering as they have usually a 10 page lead article/and covers/contents etc.] Hope this all helps in Ur 'arm-chair' travels - back across time.

If you're trying to find ST ANDREW'S LAMBETH baptisms, there is a good chance that they're hidden in amongst ALL SAINTS LALEHAM, SRY! I'm not sure how long this oversight extends, but i've been all the way through the 1860s and all files are affected. I'll list the dates i came below If you look up Lambeth records in the right hand window of their London Births & Baptisms, 1813-1906 search page, Ancestry would have you believe that they only have St Andrews Lambeth bapt images for 1899-1906 when in fact they have far more. If you key in a bapt which comes up as in Laleham All Saints, scroll down to the foot of the window and you may well see: London Metropolitan Archives, St Andrew, Coin Street, Register of baptisms, P85/AND2, Item 1. If this is the case, when you open the file, the top of the register page reassures you that Ancestry had indexed them wrongly as Laleham. Unfortunately, one or two pages don't have the church filled in so you have to juke back and forth between pages to be sure where you are. Here they are for the 1860s under All Saints Laleham You'll notice that some years include widely ranging dates ie: 1860 includes some 1866 [the page also turns up under 1866 because i found an unindexed child there :-) and that was a nice surprise. 1870 includes many odd register pages up until 1880. I haven't checked to see if they are also included under their own year.

Hi Mimi According to one of my books on Farnham, George Miller was resident at Castle Hill House in 1836 which is quite a prestigious address - and co-incides with the directory entry you have found. This George Miller played a part in local affairs and is mentioned as a town rate payer when he signed an application for a meeting about street lighting for the town in August 1830, in 1836 he was elected Chairman of the (then) new board 'for superintendence of the Highways of the Parish', and he is mentioned again when in 1837 he was a signatory witness to a contract with the directors of the Farnham Gas Company. I don't have ready access to further information about any of these three documents but Surrey History Centre may have. Can you be a little more specific as to what you are hoping to find. For example, have you looked at census and parish records? Have you looked for George's Will? TNA's documents online site lists three wills for surname Miller in Farnham, Surrey, each available to download at £3.50 - but obviously there can be no advance guarantee they will be found to be connected with George: Will of Elizabeth Hooks Miller, Spinster of Farnham , Surrey 26 January 1853 PROB 11/2165 Will of Ann Miller, Wife of Farnham , Surrey 28 April 1838 PROB 11/1894 Will of Helena otherwise Elinor Miller, Widow of Farnham , Surrey 16 January 1810 PROB 11/1507 1851 census index has a George Miller at Farnham aged 66 years born Dorking - but is he yours?
