The search facility on the homepage is to search this site only and not a general web search engine.
The Archives are not searched by this facility but you can download the archive of interest and search it using the built in 'find' feature.
Take a moment to read the help facility on the Search Results page of the search engine if you are unsure of the format to use for entering search words.
Check the spelling of your search words as the search engine will not check for spelling mistakes.
Start with one or two key words, if this produces nothing there is probably little point in searching further.
The Contents page gives an indication as to what you can find on the site.
We have provided links to local business directories, newspapers and other local and national information systems, and if you have been unable to find the information that you require on our site, you may find it from our Links page.
View also the County & District Council page, as there is sometimes confusion as to the rôles of the various local councils.
