1881 Two Sarah Alice Taylor's

[daniel tay]

Hi All,
Is this a mistake on the 1881 cens or can the same person be at two addresses in 1881? Because SARAH ALICE TAYLOR who is 2 years old, at 88 Dale street with her parents Thomas & Hannah Taylor and with sister's Harriet age 4 & Rachel Taylor age 1 all born Milnrow.
Now there is a SARAH ALICE TAYLOR who is 2 years old with a  Rachel Todd & William Todd address of Fieldhouse cottage. Now this Sarah Alice Taylor is a niece to Rachel & William Todd this is correct because Rachel was a Taylor and a sister to Hannah and yes Hannah did marry a Taylor. 
the ref Number are 1341985 Rg 11 4116/114 & 1341981 Rg 11 4100/30.
What do you think?
Many Thanks Dan Tay.

Hi Dan,

I am sure they will be many more replies.  The answer is it is far more common than you would think!  I have come across it a few times in my own family research.

Hi,

 

In 1911 my great uncle, age 2,  appears twice.  With his parents at one address and again at the home his maternal grandparents.
