Advice
- To view all names in the War Memorial Register, leave the search bar empty
- Change how broad your search is. If your results don't seem relevant enough, use the filters to refine your search.
- Keyword searches will return matches across the whole name record. For example, a search for "Morley" will return instances where Morley is the first name or last name and names which appear on memorials in Morley, Yorkshire
- Use the surname filter to only return instances of your keyword in the surname field
- The location and memorial title filters will help to narrow down results to names in a specific location, or listed on a particular memorial.
