Yes, I'll be giving them feedback about the wildcard search too. I looked for my grandfather James Tocqueville but couldn't find him. The problem is, without being able to do a wildcard it's impossible. In my 44 years I've probably seen somewhere in the region of 30 variations of the name. Still I'm off to see if i can find his mum Selina Mitchell. She should be easier to find so long as her daughter Florence is with her.

oh and I have found a clever way of finding the house hold without paying anything.

find any ancestor, if it is definately them without a doubt. then search by just their surname and in the other household members field, put the ancestor's name in and then the place and viola you get the whole household as long as they share the same surname.

Researching:
Ashford-Smith, Smith, Clarke - England and Scotland, Anderson & Marr - Midlothian & East Lothian, Bennett - Devonport, Catleugh & Shiells - East Lothian, Cullen & Dowling - Waterford, Ireland, Littlejohns - Plymouth & London, Mansfield - Benfleet & St Pancras, Michelin - London, Newlands - Midlothian & Fife, Paterson - Canongate, Midlothian, Paulin - Northumberland, Rutherford - Roxburghshire, Taylor - East Lothian & Berwickshire, Thomson - Leith & Muthill, Thorney - Herefordshire, Small - Northumberland,

oooh I was wondering if you could view the actual images on the beta version. Wasn't sure. Going to end up spending a fortune this evening me thinks.

Has anyone managed to do a wildcard search. I have been using a * but keep getting no matches, which is impossible as I was searching clark*

I know what you mean, I am also an old age pensioner but I have some credits on findmypast and I have just broken down my brick wall of 5 years just by viewing the transcript. I have found my grandfather and grandmother and it gives me where they were born in Ireland
