Completed Census Requests / Re: Mystery In Law *Completed* thank you

I noticed you and Ober have delved into SCHEFFERS.
I'm doing the same and getting the same results you did.
I can't match them to the family history I know.
Mary Elizabeth SCHEFFERS was my great grandmother -- although I don't remember actually meeting her -- who lived in Swansea and Knighton -- that I know of.
She married Chrieste AMUNDSEN (also known as Christopher AMUNDSON).
Mary had a sister, Laura SCHEFFERS. Laura married a Sgt. James WOOLLARD in 1899. The only Census reference is 1901 = Laura WOOLLARD with her AMUNDSEN relatives in Knighton, aged 22. I am awaiting a Marriage Certificate. They were married in Devonport. WOOLLARD seems to have been in the Royal Army Medical Corps and reached the Temporay Rank of Major & Quatermaster; serving in the 15th General Hospital, Alexandria, for most of WWI.
The Census provides NO link between Mary Elizabeth and Laura. The knowledge I have is family history, including photographs. Their father was Belgian -- I believe Robert SCHEFFERS, a Spelterman who worked in Swansea.
SCHEFFERS is a Dutch name -- as far as I know -- which means he would have been Flemish Belgian.
Can any one help unravell the confusion of the Census information, etc.?
