Roy, and anyone else interested in this, I found one of my WISHER relatives enumerated in an "Institution". When I clicked on the Transcript button I scrolled down the list of names and found the following at the bottom of the page: WISHER WILLIAM (RG14PN683 RG78PN23 RD9 SD1 ED34 SN1) Institution name Rowton Lodging House Address ARLINGTON ROAD CAMDEN TWON N W County London District St Pancras Subdistrict West St Pancras Enumeration District 34 Parish So in this instance he was a resident in a large lodging house. My only complaint with the transcript version is that it doesn't tell you any additional information vital to knowing if this is really the person you're looking for. I would have thought they could include on the transcript, in the least, the place of birth. As someone who was involved with the beta test of the site over Christmas, I know this issue was raised by a large number of people. Even to having place of birth be part of the results page from your initial search would be valuable, and I would hazard a guess (being in the IT biz messen) that it's simply a matter of turning a field from "off" to "on". Hope this helps.

Denise, I made this comment too. Having a large Welsh component in my tree, searching for Mary THOMAS and John JONES without seeing a place of birth is going to be impossible, and searching for every possible place of birth they could have used will be time-consuming, and that's before you even think about transcription errors in Welsh place names! However, I don't think they will change, in many cases if you verify the year and place of birth, there is no need to go any further, so you will not need to buy a transcription or image, and hence they will get no money. regards, Dai <snip> Denise Wynn wrote: > transcript, in the least, the place of birth. > As someone who was involved with the beta test of the site over Christmas, I > know this issue was raised by a large number of people.
