Getting the most from Search...
The Search box is at the top-left (or top-right) corner of all pages.
Use it to find topics of your choice, wherever they occur in the Virtual Museum. You may search for names, places, dates - anything!
Please note that many family names have a variety of spellings, such as Wodham and Woodham, Pearse and Pearce, Clisdel, Clisdale and Clidsdall.
Consider alternative spellings for everything! If you are looking for trades, note that you may find "plumber" often spelt "plummer", or "maltster" spelt "malster" in 18th century documents.
Please note: This search facility if very powerful, but it may take a few seconds to display search results.
