I've just been having a look at 1911 (for the first time!!) and I think the place names may not be as expected in some cases. I have found (in the free search) people who I am pretty sure are mine but the places are not quite right.
Have you tried searching without a place name to start with?

PS I have had some success putting in the name of another person in the household. It seems to then eliminate those without that extra name.
Looking for my aunt.......she was Elizabeth Ellen Brandon Born 1883, and married Charles Ramsden Wise Born 1874.........he came from Yorkshire.....I'm sure it was Redcar, which may come under West Riding.
I got one C R Wise result but his wife was called Mary and they were both born in Dalton.
Are you sure you have the right partners in the marriage. As Charles seems to be with a Mary in 1911 and the other woman on the marriage is Mary...are you sure Elizabeth didn't marry John Jagger?

It certainly looks right Jeanette, but I can never understand why they always put down a different place of birth.........by that I mean Elizabeth was born in Manchester but she's down as coming from Huddersfield!
Well I'm so glad I put this up Jeanette as you have rectified a 3 yr old mistake.....but oh! the work involved now!
The only problem with it is that she is listed as being born in 1874 but it could be a mistranscription. Unfortunately it only tells you where she is living and you would have to look at the image to find out where she was born
