2 Quick Questions re census night
« on: Monday 06 July 09 18:58 UTC (UK) »
Just a couple of quick questions: Do you think that a young tin miner in the Illogan area, would likely be doing a nightshift on the 1871 census night and could this be the reason that he was missing from the census. Wife says married and not widowed.

Hi Mistyweather

a couple of websites for you

He also may have worked away from home.

Also Ask J***es  . co .uk about the ' Illogan area' and you should get some feedback
