Hello

It seems to be a problem with the prefix O', as the same applies to
O'Sullivan - you can find O'Sullivans if specify a place but get no
results if you leave the place box blank. It does not apply if you
leave the apostrophe out ie, you can search nationally on Osullivan -
but this does not pick up those which have been transcribed with the
apostrophe.
