Does it occasionally happen that 2 entries for someone were made on a Census? |

Could they be cousins? I know my lot named their children the same. |

My Dad was nearly on the 1991 twice - one at home & one at hospital! |

Wouldn't I have found two Francis Staddon's listed in the Censuses throughout if they were cousins though, even if they were born at the same time, in the same area? |

The return for the South Barracks would have been filled out by a clerk probably using the pay office register and if your Francis was 'on leave' at the time he could easily have been enumerated twice. |

My grandfather is also listed twice - once at home with his parents and once on a ship - but the sheet for the ship has "Not on Board" at the top. |

I've found a couple of people listed twice. Very confusing at first ... |
