Mark, Ah, that is the bit which I did not get! No, you cannot search for a single Event. All Detailed searches are for Individuals or Marriages.

I had another look at the search page and tried to think a bit deeper. The primary condition does say “look for whom”, so maybe you can only search for an individual who has criteria 1 and/or criteria 2. What I need to do is search for an event with these criteria. Can this be done? I’m beginning to think not.

I have tried searching as you suggest for gardeners in the 1901 census and 8 were found, so I am not getting the results which you indicate ie. all individuals with an Event-Date of 1901 (irrespective of Event Description) and all individuals with an Event-Description of ‘gardener’ (irrespective of date), which is what I understand your question to mean.

But when I search, for example, an event date of 1841 and an event description of “not looked for”, the search returns all 1841 events and all events with the description of “not looked for”. Can any kind soul help?
