Try putting in just there names and see what comes up if that doesn't work add the age. See if this helps!

I found the family I wanted on the search engine, Thomas and Sarah Phillips, both born Cinderford, Glos and living in 1891 at Llantarnam, Mon. and put it aside. When I returned this week, they had completely disappeared. No combination would bring them up, and I even had the place, Llanfrechfa, Upper Mon. for both husband and wife. Do people disappear from time to time? Or is it that nasty gremlin that runs the search engine at his tricks again?
