Travelling People / Hawkers missing from census
« on: Friday 07 March 08 17:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
Was it normal for travellers and hawkers to be missed from a census if they were camped in woods and on farm ground? I have only ever been able to find my Brown family on the 1901 census . This was in the parish of Lismore and Appin Scotland and they were recorded as residing in a tent. I have been unable to locate them on any other cencus.I know that they travelled the road north from Perth to Inverness regularly but no joy anywhere.
