Missing person on census

[littlej]

I have the same problem. My maternal grandmother does not seem to be on the 1901. She married in the next year, and her future husband is already 'in situ' so to speak at the address given for both of them on the marriage cert. As she came from Malton, Yorkshire, and he was living in Cheshire, I'm at a loss to know where she was on that night. There is a girl with the same name about 12 miles away with a birthplace Marton, Yorkshire, but there is a Marton, so who can tell?

Oh Teresa, what have you started!! 

You really have me thinking now, and revisiting those missing ones, and guess what, I still can't find them!!!

This family still has me beaten: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,158831.0.html

However, what I am doing is documenting all the missing ones, dates and places of birth, and the census where I have found them so they're all in one place!!  Although all mine seem to be missing on the 1861 census for some reason!

I also have two miners missing on the1901....one of them is my Brickwall.

They are of the same family,  same area, the wives and children are all on the census....and I know that they were alive at that time.

So frustrating

I am missing one Robert Main, my gr grandfather, from the 1861 and 1871 censuses.  I have his birth certificate, he was born in 1854 in Great Cressingham, Norfolk to James Main and Mary (nee Youngs).  But he doesn't turn up again until the 1881 census, where he is living with his aged mother and third husband, still in Norfolk.

Where he went in between is a mystery.  I've tried looking in his mother's maiden name, looking for every Robert b1854 in Norfolk.  I've tried looking at every person in Great Cressingham for five years around 1854.  Believe me, I've tried every path.

His father died the year he was born, and his mother was re-married by the 1861 census.  But Robert isn't living with them, and he would have only have been 7 years old.  How callous is that?  I thought I had found him living in an orphanage with the initials R M, can't remember where now, but it wasn't him.

I've given up on his lost years, but I know where he was from 1881, so at least that's good!

I know just how you feel Roz I cant find one family at all on the 41 but they are there in 51 and another one appears married (none found) in 1881 disappears in 91 and 1901, found daughters marriage in 190? (cant remember exactly) says deceased,  no  sign of his death even.  He seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth

I have one that might have been deemed "missing" were it not for the fact that I know he had been sent abroad to live with relatives because his family of origin had more children than they could afford to keep.  In this case, he was sent to Germany, and later returned to marry in England, then he emigrated to a third country!  Thought this might be a useful clue for somebody.
