Appearing twice in the same census...

Post by MarkCDodd »

Anybody ever had a person appear twice (two different buildings) in the same census?

I am sure that Mary Dodd born in Sheriffhales abt 1844 (there are two in a short amount of time) married a Frederick Green in Sheriffhales in 1867.

This is definately Mary's family in the 1871 census Living in Burlington (Next to Sheriffhales).

Dodd Thomas 51 Head Agricultural Labourer Sheriffhales, Shropshire
Dodd Martha 48 Wife - Sheriffhales, Shropshire
Dodd Mary 27 Daughter - Sheriffhales, Shropshire
Dodd Elizabeth 15 Daughter - Sheriffhales, Shropshire
Dodd John 7 Son Scholar Sheriffhales, Shropshire
Dodd Joseph 4 Son Scholar Sheriffhales, Shropshire

Looking at the census, Mary is listed a married.

However, there is also this one in 1871 at Cottage Unnamed, Shiffnal

Green Frederick 27 Head Blacksmith Hantwich, Cheshire
Green Mary 27 Wife - Sheriffhale, Staffordshire
Dodd Joseph 4 Brother In Law - Sheriffhale, Staffordshire

Sheriffhales is partly in Staffordshire and Shropshire so it is common for the birth County to change.

Fact is, there is only one Joseph Dodd born in the Shifnal district around 1867.

So I think Mary and Joseph are down twice....

Thoughts?

I had the same person (Benjamin Clee) appear in two different towns, one in Aston in Birmingham with his son Edgar, as a wool sorter, and also he was with his wife Elizabeth in Kidderminster as a Carpet Weaver. in 1861.
