Far from unusual to have people recorded twice on census returns.......I've lost count of the number I've found in just my own tree. |

Now despite my VAST experience and VAST knowledge (ha, ha), I never knew that census forms were distributed a few days before the census. That now explains why my Thomas Holland and his wife (who may not have been his wife anyway) were in two different locations on the same night. The two locations were about 50 miles apart. Now to work out which location they were really in and WHY? |

Reading AllanC's post might give the impression that 1911 was conducted in a difft manner from the earlier censuses. Actually, what's difft abt 1911 is that the original forms still exist, whereas for earlier censuses all we have are the enumerator's transcriptions. |

Before 1911 census details were collected by enumerators over a period of several days either side of the census date so it was quite easy for people on the move to be counted twice or, conversely, not counted at all. In 1911 householders filled in their own forms and were told the information should relate to census night - whether or not they read the instructions properly is another matter; from the alterations on some of the images I've seen they obviously didn't. So it's theoretically less likely, though still possible as mgnv suggests, for someone to be on the 1911 census twice. |

Happens with some regularity - the forms were dropped off a couple of days before Sunday midnight, and he filled them out, then had to go to his parents on a family emergency is one scenario. |

Could one of my ancestors be on the 1911 census twice in different locations? BMD shows only one John Arthur Brearley born September Quarter 1881 Wortley District. I have found him on the 1911 census - age 29 occupation woollen weaver- listed with his parents Arthur and Fanny and shown as married but no wife or children listed. |
