When I Search trees for Mary Stallard, added any time, the most recent year shown is 1826. If I add a year, 1927, a result is found. If I remove 1927 and add Bath, two results are found, one being silly.

Is it the same for yout? Support have suggested clearing my cache.

With that information, I get the same results as you.

Just using the forename, surname and Bath gives one reasonable result and the other result has no matching search criteria at all.
