James Lilley  lodger  male   age 20    darlington Durham traveller
John T sewell lodger age 25   Hartlepool Durham coal  merchant

27-29 George Street Gateshead Durham
Martin Lilley  head age 51 b Ireland   traveller
Sussanah Lilley wife age 45  b Birson Devon

Looks like the same people.  The answer probably is that they "travelled" between both addresses, so whichever household they weren't in at the time put them down on the census anyway.

thanks for taking a look it was important to clarify that it was the same Martin has all the census info in the past have just give place of birth as Ireland and this one said Enniskillen so narrows the search big place Ireland when your looking for a needle in a haystack
thanks

Needless to say, they SHOULDN'T be the same people, as they couldn't have been in two places on the same night.  But it does look convincing that the older Susannah filled in the form for her absent husband and, in error, filled in all those who were normally resident, rather than only those actually resident on census night.
