Trouble with FindMyPast

[Minimoo]

Please can someone explain why FindMyPast keep telling me my search for Frederick William Hemm on the 1901 and 1911 census comes up as a NO result when I can find him on FamilySearch and that site quotes FindMyPast as the source ? I do hope someone can help.

Is he in Chorlton RD in 1901? If so He's Frederick Wm Hemm

And as his full name in 1911, same place.

[Minimoo]

Thank you,that looks like him but I still get a no result ! What am I doing wrong ?

[Gadget]

I'm not sure. Are you giving too much information?

Put in Frederick Hemm - tick for variations in both boxes

Then his birth year as 1847+2

Then in residence put in Chorlton

[Minimoo]

Thank you that's just what I have been doing, but have just tried again and still a no !!!

[Gadget]

Try just the county - Lancashire, no place of residence.

Are you on the new or old FindMyPast?

This is what I put in once I'd found him on the 1901:

[Gadget]

Not sure if I am allowed to give you the 1911 ref, but this is the 1901 ref:

Ref is RG13/3675/81/20
Reg District: Chorlton
Address: 7 Brampton Street
South Manchester

Frederick Wm Hemm, aged 57, Town Hall clerk, b. Manchester
