Did everyone have to register on the 1911 census?

Everyone is supposed to but that doesn't mean that they did. Who are you looking for?

Legally, yes. But people avoided it (Suffragettes for example). Some would have been missed. Some gave false info. If you can't find someone, then the entry may have been mistranscribed.

Can we help by looking too?

I have a household which should contain a very young child. They even declare that one child was born and alive from their marriage.... but where is he?
People here have searched for him, but perhaps we will be luckier with your person.

Thanks for the replies. I am realyy confused why i cant find my 2xgreat grandfather on the 1911 census knowing he didnt die until 1939 so "should" be on the census!!
His name is frederick armstrong and "should " be in clay cross/ north wingfield /chesterfield area. He died in north wingfield so i imagine he stayed in that area. Any ideas or help with be gratefully received
regards
Debs

This looks like Gertrude in 1911 (possibly with an illegitimate daughter):-
