This paper describes hybrid name matching algorithms developed to provide nominal data linkage within English parish register data. LIG2 has been shown to perform as well as conventional matching algorithms found in the literature, while its probability version LIG3 provides sufficient flexibility to be included in a Nominal Data Linkage Workbench which allows other dimensions e.g. geographical space, and historical time to be included in the linkage/matching process. The paper reports some initial findings on implementing such a Workbench.
