Hi Merryl Here is an alternative way of searching. 1. Enter surname in search box on left. 2. Select an entry for a person, as opposed to a street name, etc. For Willing I had to go to the second page. 3. Click the surname of the person with the surname in question. I get a list which tells me there are 1,401 people with the last name Willing. I am not listed, but I did a postcode search. There are people in adjacent streets listed but not mine. It looks like they have not finished adding the UK data. Willings was slightly trickier, as the Willings entries were mixed up with the Willing entries, but I found one eventually. There are 189, but not very many in the UK. I am reluctant to give them my name and e-mail address for alerts.

Strange I was not there and I am on the electoral roll and in the phone book, looking at the number of variants, it looks like another surname site I have looked at, don't ask me which one, but the list of variants is just about identical. I featured those variants in a recent newsletter. I also noticed more than a few repeats even a Rev Featherstone and the contact number was netflix.com which may give a clue to where some of the names came from. Paul 2627 Featherstone's Worldwide.

Interesting site. Not very useful, but I do wonder how they do it. They seem to have less than 10% of UK QUESTED addresses which I know about. They have NONE of the 10 individual QUESTED households on my xmas card list. Penelope Burton GOONS 4896

Hi Merryl (and Jim) Thanks for the link to this site, although I have seen something similar before. But not sure why you are both having so much trouble locating your names. I found it very easy... 1. Select initial letter from row along top of homepage - in my case R 2. Scroll down through the sets of three letters starts and select the one of interest - in my case Row 3. Scroll down through the lists of surnames beginning with Row until you find Rowberry (or one of the other variantions such as Rowbery and Rowbury). This page gives you a brief summary of how many people they have listed and where, so in the case of Rowberry 355 people, 21 in Canada, 18 in New Zealand, 31 in UK and 285 in the USA; which I know to be well below the actual figures (even of adults alone) (and doesn't include any of those in Australia) but at least it is a start. 4. Click on the surname to take you to the listings. There are quite a few duplicates, so even the total number of people is less than they claim, but you do get full address and phone number. If your surname is not listed there is a link at the bottom of the page at 3 above which takes you to a form to fill in for notification of when they acquire some....

I searched for myself and I don't appear. That is OK I am not on the public available electoral roll, and our phone number is not in the phone book. I searched for Orlando. There are usually so many Orlando's in the USA that I will be old and grey before I extract the living ones. The search revealed ONE! I looked at the page again and realised I had selected the name of ORLALNDO - not a registered variant. I grabbed it anyway! I redid the search using the exact spelling it found over 13,000, none of which are in Italy. It also revealed several who had hypenised their name - ORLANDO-BIRD is one of them. In fact there were 29 hypenised names with Orlando in. I didn't even get to search for Worship. Lets ave that for another day of fun! Thanks Jim for the site. Have you added it to the WIKI?

Seems a bit out of date and repetitious - on my other study (Scroop) it gives about 50 people on the three variations but there are multiple listings of the same person and they are at old addresses ( some are moves more than 5 years old) On my present surname, Byatt - it gives my husband and daughter at our present address but does not give me - nor does it have my husband's brother's households in England. I'm wondering if they are using some professional databases as I am on taxpayer rolls, voter rolls, driver registration but have never been employed at this address. One thing is for certain - there is so much repetition on some individuals, I would not consider their numbers to be in anyway accurate.

There is a secret way to move more quickly through the list. For example, for Benedict, there are 169 pages (!) of Benedict's. The first page is at: http://www.locatefamily.com/B/BEN/BENEDICT-1.html On that page at the top, it tells me that there are 13,489 people with the last name Benedict. But just below that, it offers me the choice to click (move to) pages 2, 3, 4, 5, ... 28. If I click on the link to page 28 and go there, then the range of clickable page numbers changes. #28 is in the middle, and I could then choose pages 18 through 40. And so on. So you can quickly move up and down the page range. Or, if you want to, just change the URL by editing part of it. My Benedict page #28 is at URL: http://www.locatefamily.com/B/BEN/BENEDICT-28.html If I want to leap to page #123, I would edit the 28 in the URL to be 123 and then hit the enter button. So I did a quick check. The first page for wells, just by editing the URL, appeared at: http://www.locatefamily.com/W/WEL/WELLS-1.html Took me 10 seconds to get there. You have 129,042 people with the last name of Wells; listed over 1,614 pages. To move around, edit the "1" (one) to become, say, half-way, or "807" and then work your way in either direction. What this needs is a filter on both the surname and the geographical region and then it could be more useful. But yes, 13,489 is an awful lot of Benedict's (or Wells). And I'm not prepared to phone and write to each of them for the sake of the Study. It could be a useful tool. If for example, you know there were several "Wells" in a particular smaller community, this tool allows you to enter the postal /zip code, pull them up and do a count. You could then get a distribution of the living descendants of a particular surname this way. If that were of interest in your study, that is.

This takes a bit of getting used to. I was going back to the main search page for each year and finding it reverted to post 1996 each time, but now see the search page shows above the page you have viewed. Also once you have seen one page bearing your surname you can go back to the same name in the previous year (or after?) so if you are searching consecutively it is much quicker than pulling out books at Somerset House :>) Noticed that the names of the executor/s are not included after 1966. One hiccup I had was a blank page but I went forward a page and then back again and it appeared. From Merryl Wells of Luton, Beds. E-Mail: merryl.wells@one-name.org GOONS Mem. No. 1757 Reg.

The Probate Service's new online wills search for 1858-1996 has gone online this morning. Seems to be no advanced search for this period unlike the '1996-present' search and it's also still a one surname, one year at a time search. However it does bring up the whole page of entries as we're used to seeing in the printed copies. From there one can work through using 'Previous Page/Next Page'.
