1911 Headache
« on: Friday 24 March 17 23:02 GMT (UK) »
A smart match for my tree says that Frederick May- Thomas , wife Henrietta May- Thomas, and 2 children, one being Henry Charles Gilligan are showing up in the 1911 census. I can not find them. I know that copyright means people can't tell me what is there but a few hints to what I am doing wrong to not find them. Can see Henrietta as a widow  in 1891 and what looks like Frederick and Henrietta alone in 1901. First husband was Arthur Cabburn Gilligan.

If he was born c1857, had an occupation that involved writing and could be in Lambeth in 1911, then by inserting Frederick in first name box and May Thomas (without need for hyphen) in last name box, you should get him.
