My Grt Grandfather David Benjamin Redding 1st left

I am attempting to unscramble a very complex family, whilst scrutinising the 1861 censure I found the same person at two different addresses.
Is this common ?
I know its the right person by age name and occupation but just makes searching even more confusing, why dident they just stay at home would make our lives so much easier

Yes this happens fairly often. Usually one entry at home and another on the place they were on the actual night of the census.
It is a mistake as they should not have been entered at home if they were away for the night. However it can turn out to be a very fortuitous mistake for us now, as we often get the home address which we wouldn't have got if the forms were correctly completed, and there can be other benefits too. For example I have one ancestor who was a farmer, and is named as such on his home entry, but on the visiting entry he was named as a horse dealer, so I can be fairly sure he was involved in a horse deal with the household he was visiting!

One of my ancestors was entered at home in Bristol with her family and in Somerset with her dad.

My husband's gran was recorded as living at home with her mum and sisters and also at her aunt's house where she was probably playing with her cousins. We assume she got caught up in the throng! She was five years old in 1891.
This proved useful as I was able to ascertain that the aunt was indeed her mother's sister and led me to look for her marriage.

It has to be preferable to having the situation where he isn't entered on either household because each thinks the other has done it.  It has happened to me. Jen
Its very annoying if you have fishermen on your family tree. If they were out fishing on the night the Census was taken, they don't appear.
Seems stupid to omit them.

A 7 year old relative of mine was noted on the 1881 as being with his parents in one road and his uncle and grandmother in another in the same town, both families hundreds of mile away from their original home. It was very useful, as it linked the two families nicely - two brothers working in the same mine.

My Gt-grandmother was the same, I couldnt find her where I expected her to be at home with her parents ......... took me ages to actually find her listed with her granny - Correct name & Surname, right age & place of birth .................. THEN I was reading over the rest of the page and there she is again 3 houses away with her Mums sister & family, listed as a Neice, named as Maggie not Margaret, and her age is a few years out, lol can only think she was with her cousins who were aprox same age & Uncle guessed at her age!
