With FreeBMD - if you'd put Fred - it would have shown Fred, Frederic, Frederick (and Freda) etc.

If you put Frederick it would only show Frederick.

Plus, after 1911 (I think) it does not give middle names, just the initials.

Sometimes on that site less is more!

There is a project called the Greenhow Hill project (put it in GOOGLE) which has loads of information on people born etc in and around Greenhow hill. I joined it for the Marshall name. It is free to join but you have to request a password.

I have managed 100's of branches thanks to it.
