	Thanks for that - I tried putting a * in, but on the surname. Never thought of putting it on the first name.

	Think I'm going a bit mad. I have located a Harold Knowles, aged 24, born Stillington Yorkshire, living in Rotherham, occupation coal miner in 1901, on the National Archives census site. I have cross-referenced with Ancestry 1901 census, but cannot find Harold on there. Can anyone with a sharp pair of eyes help me out? I have come across similar instances of not finding a person on the Ancestry site when they are on the National Archives one.
