    1. [SCOTLAND] Searching English records

    3. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: lc1965 Surnames: Blaza Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.scotland.general/22409/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Perhaps someone will be able to help me with this? I find searching for records on ancestry sometime difficult to say the least and very frustrating, especially when I have previously found the right record ie the death of Philip Blaza in 1903 details from ancestry below: Name: Blaza, Philip Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 67 Quarter: March Year: 1903 District: Loddon County: Norfolk Volume: 4b Page: 140 Today searching for this record the search came back with anything other than this record, so I gave up and it wasn't as if I was using the wrong spelling of surname, I had the previous information to hand and it should have been a straightforward search. Searching census records is the same, the search engine doesn't seem to accept the place where a family lived and totally ignores any factual information, it just doesn't seem to work well for me, so perhaps I am adding the wrong information and or I don't know how to use the search facility. If I add Norfolk as a place where this family lived this search is totally ignored and also adding the village is ignored as well. Can anyone help me and tell me what I am doing wrong? And if you find the above burial record please let me know. I am sure I have seen a similar post but using the search facilities within ancestry I haven't found it.

    3. Are you only interested in the death record. His marriage and census records are recorded under the name Philip Blaza.
