Census and Resource Discussion / Same person appears twice in one census?
« on: Sunday 24 October 10 01:03 BST (UK) »
I have a Sarah Wood appearing in two 1851 census entries about 2 miles apart:
HO107/1740 folio 356 p2
Cattel Bank, Kingsthorpe, Northants
Age 19, b West Haddon, Northants
(Parents James and Charlotte, and brothers Thomas and Josiah at same address)
HO107/1740 folio 209 p25
College Street, Northampton
Age 19, General servant, b West Haddon, Northants
(Henry Ager, age 28, shoemaker also at same address)
IGI has Sarah Wood, christened 17 June 1832, West Haddon, Northampton (Parents James & Charlotte)
The 1861 census has
RG9/938 folio 74 p3
13 Cock Lane, Kingsthorpe, Northampton
Henry Ager, widower, age 38, shoemaker
Sarah Wood, widow, age 28, housekeeper, b West Haddon
14 Cock Lane
James and Charlotte Wood
Henry Ager and Sarah Wood married in Kingsthorpe on April 17 1866 and Sarah's father is given as James Wood. Witnesses are Josiah and Mary Wood. Henry's condition on the certificate in widower but Sarah's is spinster.
It appears to me that it is the same Sarah Wood in both 1851 census entries. Has anyone else come across anything like this?
