I have a missing William Matthews in 1881, a James Broad who disappears after 1871, his brother George Broad who disappears after 1881 and various other individuals who go awol on various other censuses. My husband's family are gone in 1861, the year which if I could only find them, would solve so many mysteries! I think in most cases its just very bad transcribing, possibly because some of the census pages are virtually illegible. nell
