The Common Room / Re: Person recorded in two 1901 Censuses

Yes, I found a man listed twice in the same census (this was in England so it was also on the same night). He was listed at the Asylum where he worked as a night porter and also listed at home with his family.
I note the two censuses were taken on different dates. I expect Duncan McDougall normally lived with his daughter, but was visiting his son when the Brandon census was taken. He might have been at his son's house for only one night.
The discrepancy in birth dates could be because he had already returned home when his son filled in the census form, and the son misremembered his father's birth date.
