I also came across a family who lived on the boundary of two enumeration districts, and they were enumerated twice - once at their front door, then again at their back door - unfortunately, I've forgotten the details.

Yes it did happen. people listed all these usually living at home even when one was actually away census night. For example one of my grt x umpteen!! grandmothers was a monthly nurse, she was listed in 1871 at her home address as well as at the new mums family home who she was looking after . Goodness knows where she was actually Probably at the new mums house but ??

Hello Michelle - would that be Ann Selina Terry?

I thought the name was familiar from your other Terry threads.

Hi,

I have come across several examples of this happening !!

The person is working away, or staying away from home, but has also been put down with the family!! - NOT unusual !!

Hope this helps.

Can it be that some one was on two census in the same area, in 1861 Ann Terry is staying with her grand father in Malling, kent but also staying at home with her parents and bother in Malling. she was born in 1849
her parents are John and Sarah Terry.
