	you need to go on ancestry [try the 2 week free trial if you havent already] and search the canadian/american census and anything else you can think of. there are other sites but that seems to be the best vivienne

	Linda the answer may be a simple mistranscription of the name ...... there are lots of mistakes on the 1911, just as there are on all other censuses. Have you tried the following 1. Used the wild card , eg, wor or worb* .... this may now work on the 1911, it didn't work last week but I read somewhere that it was now available. 2. Click on Advance Search, enter as much information as possible (especially an unusual forename!), then just put , (ie a comma) in the Surname box ....... this will bring up a listing of names that you have to search through. But you are doing it on the free search!!! Very often with all the censuses, you have to get sneaky to try to get around the mis-spellings and mis-transcriptions ............... it will become easier on the 1911 when one can search using the forename and birth information as you can on the earlier ones! sylvia
