Source - Where Used

I'm sure I've seen this sort of question asked and answered before, but blowed if I can find it after an hour searching the forums and KB (with google as well), so I'll grovel and ask again:
I've got one particular source, just with Title = "Electoral Roll - 192.com" and Type = "Electoral Roll" and nothing else, 11 citations, no media linked to it. I'm fairly sure it's a now redundant left over (don't ask from what, I haven't a clue!).
How can I find what records are citing it?

Select the Source in the Source List, then View > Record Links.

There are also plugins:
- List all citations for a source
- List all citations for ALL sources
- List all citations for any sources
some of the attached queries might be helpful

Don't beat yourself up David.
Those attachments are Jim's personal
Custom Queries you won't find them by
Searches.
The Plugins he mentioned in his first reply are attached to
Import from TMG - Missing Some Citations (11462).
But the first one is in the
Plugin Store, which is often a good place to look for problem solutions.

Apologies David, I thought they were all in the store, it looks like the only one in the store is
List All Citations for a Selected Source
I think this was the original and to my mind superseded by these 2 (attached, I have learnt/remembered how to make more than 1 attachment to a post!!)
List All Citations for Any Sources is as the original, but allows selection of more than 1 source.
List All Citations for All Sources does the same but for ALL sources (can run a long time, but very good), although this could be actioned by "....Any Sources" and selecting all Sources.
Perhaps those with the power might like to update the store.

Jim, the original is "Authored/Owned" by Jane and only she can update it in the Plugin Store.
I think it better to update the original to allow the flexibility of selected Sources rather than a very similar new Plugin.
When Jane gets back from her "Unlock the Past" cruise next week we can discuss the best way forward.

Just wanted to thank Jim for the 'List All Citations for All Sources' plugin which is exactly what I was looking for to help identify and resolve some missing citation entry dates and assessments. I was about to start a new thread on this but persevered in searching for an existing solution and found this thread. Thank you to such an active and helpful Family Historian community!

That is actually my temporary Plugin and it is superseded in the Plugin Store by my Where Used Record Links Plugin that works for any type and any selection of records, and provides more details about Source Citations such as linked Media.
