you can search for free but it costs to view the info at £6.95 for 30 units .it costs 10 units to view the trancription and 30 units to view the actual census page.
This isnt a subs site but pay to view.

I think the question is: where are you getting the age 14/15 in 1911?

Do you have his birth record?

http://www.freebmd.org.uk

If you can copy it from there, that would be useful. Or are you taking his age from the 1901 census? From a subsequent marriage? death? Not a census I guess, since you say you can't find him there. It very much sounds like the age you have given is not actually accurate.

It's frustrating for people to do searches on the basis of information that turns out to be unconfirmed/inaccurate.

Lesley said that was the closest birth she could find. Is it the wrong one?

Do you have some idea of location? (as already asked, and not answered)
Keep in mind that not all counties are included in what's searchable yet.

http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx

Check the drop-down menu for counties and you'll see what is and isn't available.

Do you know who else would have been in his household? a parent, sibling? Put that name or those names in the lines for other members of the household and you may be able to narrow your results to the right one.

Jim, an age stated on a death cert is not proof of anything.

It is just whatever the person who reported the death happened to think.

If my grandfather had died in 1960, his age on his death certificate would have been wrong. He didn't retire until a few years later, and that was when he had to get his birth certificate, and found out he wasn't as old as he'd thought he was all his life.

His middle name may not have been used when his birth was registered.

Oh, btw ... my grandfather's death would also have been under the wrong name if he'd died before he retired. His name was actually quite different from what he'd thought it was for 65 years ...

If he is from Sunderland and was still living there in 1911, the Durham census has yet to be put online.
