Missing from the census?
« on: Saturday 17 October 09 18:22 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?

Hi (again!) Graye,

Some people are unfindable indeed but most of the times it's a matter of mistranscription.

Try surname Llodges

That is amazing!  Well done.  Those are exactly them , plus the missing children I have been searching for.  Thanks so much.  I'll have to get further into this lateral thinking mallarkey, it's obviously going to pay dividends!
