I was searching for a name that may be Hupe(accent on the e) or Huppe (Also accented e). There are a few listed on the 1906 census, but the link to the results gives an error that is reported as: Hup - no listings for that name. Or Hupp - no listings for that name. The accented e is not being read by the search engine or database and I cannot access those listings. This may be a general problem for such non-english alphabet letters.

Noone,

Do not use accented letter for search, the search engine does not like them.
For Huppé, search for Huppe and the search result will include all instances of Huppe and Huppé.

Cheers,
