Ok, I am fully aware that I am the only person in the world who is going to be affected by this, but:
My family loved daft names. I have a Kirkham Kirkham. His daddy is called either Eli, Eliah, Elihu, Elijah....whatever you like, really, and his mummy is Elizabeth.
Cannot find them in 61, so I switch to search for "Kirkham". New search does not recognise this as a forename and gives me one million people with any old first name, surname Kirkham.
It would seem from this that the new search will only search on forenames alone if it recognises it as a forename, even though I also entered parents as just Eli and Elizabeth - no surname.
Moan over.
