	cheekychops Issac is a very common mis-spelling or mis-transcription for Isaac One way round the problem is to use the wild card symbol , which denotes one or more missing letters so I would ask for Isac Smith sylvia

	another tip when searching for a name when you are not sure of the spelling when using freebmd is to just put in the first 2 or even just the first letter. It will then give all the names beginning with that. The same applies to cheshirebmd.org.uk which you may find useful if continuing backwards with your research
	Researching: Liverpool (Cartwright, Chambers, Miller), Todmorden (Sutcliffe, Mallison), Abergavenny (Watkins, Prosser)
