Search Tips

If you can't find the person or business you are looking for, try the following to improve your chances of getting a result:

  • Make sure you have entered the person's surname correctly.

  • Enter just the surname / business name without defining the initials or the parish. Some people's parishes are not listed in the directory so they won't be displayed in the search results if you define a parish.

  • Try entering a small part of the surname / business name, for example if you can't find an entry for 'matthews', try entering 'matt'.

  • If you are searching for a business which has initials in its name e.g. R. B. Bloggs, try searching for just 'Bloggs'.

  • If you are searching for a business enter just the category without the business name.

  • If you search on a type of business e.g Dentist and several other categories are displayed, you need to refine your search. Try using the A - Z Classifieds which will identify the exact heading, click on D and then Dental Surgeons. The results will display entries appearing under that specific category only.

  • Try to make sure that you do not use your back button since this may result in failed searches.

  • If a business has numbers in its name, try entering the number as a word  eg. 2e2 try 'twoe'.
