Is he still alive? In which case he might not be there? Try his father or mother or a grandparent.

To look at BMDs for the timescale you are tralking about, you need to click on 'Full BMD Indexes', and search through them quarter by quarter.

Just putting a his name into the search box on the front page won't give you any results.

Full BMD indexes have not been indexed, the FreeBMD ones only cover upto about 1920 and the latest census available is 1901, that's why you get no results.

Ladybird, you need to check the "Complete" index, see my thread about searching them, I'll nudge it up.
