I have been trying to search on the 1911 census (the free search). Each time I put in the details it tells me I must always use the surname field. I am putting the surname in but it does not seem to recognise it. Any idea's please.
Dixie ;D

What's the surname?
-
if theres a chance that its been mis-tranned ( a large % have it seems), then just put a '.' or ',' in the surname box and try just forename, age etc .... look for a strange name and it might be yours - mis-spelled ;)

Thanks for that, it worked. Help ! Great Grandad had three more children we did not know about !!!!! This census will probably throw up all sorts of info.

Just had to add ...... the (,) thingy FANTASTIC! ;D
Had a birth in 1910 for George Francis LISCOR St Geo Han Sq
nest to grandads " now " twin sisters ( one died) spely LISCOR.
Just put in George (,) b 1910 St Geo Han Sq got 82 hits so look for oddities ..... Bingo George LIXOR fond with father George Henry & mother Annie who are mine and are LISCOE.
Brilliant..... off to try on some more ;D

the (,) thingy
save those bony fingers - you dont need the parenthethis - a fullstop or even comma on its own is fine (maybe any character, havent tried ;) )
