If you are using Ancestry.com's census images... Did you know that you can use various options..... such as Fran* [note the star] that is known as a wildcard...... and in the case of St John and that type of name for surname and/or county you have to try it both ways.... StJohn [note no space] or St John [note the space]...... You can use the "Wildcard" for the "Given" and/or "Surname"...... NOTE: You must use 3 or more for the name..... Example: Fra* - Fran* - Franc* etc..... Hope this is of some help.....
