morning all
i wonder if anyone can see what i can,t i.v been searching the 1911 census for HARRY SMITH born 1908 with father ALEXANDER SMITH on harrys marriage cert it says father was forman navy if that helps i think harry was born hunslet leeds & his farther was born either scotland or durham but when i put these in the serch engine on the 1911 census i can,t get a match i wonder if i,m looking too hard & missin it i have only 1 credit left for the 1911 census & don,t want to waste it on the wrong one so please could someone have a look & see if they can find a match
