Hi Barbara
The census recorded all those who spent the night of the census in a particular household, including lodgings or hotels.
The problem with actors tends to be whether they gave their real or stage names!
Those is transit should still be recorded. I have seen some establishments where they gave scant, or no, detail for their overnight guests however. Some just say "male, approx 40" with no name or place of birth.
Is there anyone in particular that you are looking for?
kind regards, Arranroots

I am sorry you have a problem Christopher! 
I have seen tents and caravans recorded, but didn't include every last possibility in my reply to Barbara - I hope she understood my meaning, though!
Looking at Barbara's previous threads, it seems Ernest was last sighted in the London area, so maybe a lodging house or hotel is more likely, but as always, leave no stone unturned!
Not sure whether he has been found yet or not, but the best of RC minds have addressed the problem, judging from the other threads about him!
kind regards, Arranroots

Thanks Arranroots, Has a check been done on the out of work actors on park benches  Christopher
Now there's a question!
I guess we would have to ask the enumerators, and I see a small issue with that...

Hello, I don't know anything about your 'search', but this might be useful.
My Great Grandmother kept a boarding house for stage people in Liverpool. We have photographs of some of her boarders who became friends of the family, being photographed at my father's and his twin's christening.
I know their names, Dickie and Poppy Douglas. I therefore searched censuses 1901 and before, and found them in various parts of the country.
So do a general search, not putting down any place or country.
I know that is easier with people who had more unusual names - Jones etc is too difficult.
Sincerely, Rachel Bowen
