Could go nuts.. census hunt

[KGarrad]

The census is a snapshot of where people were on census night, 6th June 1841.
It doesn't imply that they were living permanently at the address, just that they were there at midnight on the said date.

Am curious abt the PARKS/ SPARKES. Someone's hearing dodgy?

If you are keen to preserve sanity you must quickly learn not to expect perfect matches of names in records, especially in the nineteenth century.  Spellings were not very standardised, and as you say, someone may have been a bit deaf, or possibly just wrote down a name he was familiar with; and many folk couldn't write, and weren't sure how their name should be spelt anyway.

And then there is the problem of misreading script ....

   Tis good to know sanity prevails, thanks to you and all who have helped out
