2 Quick Questions re census night

[Mistyweather]

Just a couple of quick questions: Do you think that a young tin miner in the Illogan area, would likely be doing a nightshift on the 1871 census night and could this be the reason that he was missing from the census. Wife says married and not widowed.

He also may have worked away from home.

Also Ask J***es  . co .uk about the ' Illogan area' and you should get some feedback
