Missing from a census?
« on: Saturday 17 October 09 18:19 UTC (UK) »
Is it unusual for a whole family to be missing from the census?  I've looked in vain for one on the 1891 census and it's the only conclusion I can come to.  I was looking for John Hodges (aged 33 and born in Dudley) his wife Emma, aged 39 and born in Bromsgrove) and their daughter Jessie (aged around 2 and born in Bromsgrove).  I believe they were all living in Bromsgrove at the time.  It is possible there may have been an older child too.  Presumably if they just weren't in on the day of the census they were missed off?

Yes, it kept telling me to repost.  Of course I did and then find I'd made three posts as each one had actually gone ahead.  I'll have to remember that for later - it makes the site look so untidy.

That information has more or less solved the missing children, those are certainly the two I thought were out there somewhere, both of those boys died before 1901.  There is a third boy (the one in the photo I mentioned on another post).  He died in 1909 and I thought he might be a son too but I've since found he was probably John William Hodges born in 1894 in Upton on Severn.  I suspect he may have been a nephew who went to live with them, although I can't find any Hodges in Upton on Severn on a brief search.  Something else to keep me occupied!
