I know George Samples was born 8 apr 1870 to Sarah Samples. So you would presume he's be on the 1871 census

A 17 year old Sarah (mistranscribes as Semple) is living with her Sister and family, but no sign of George. However he turnes up in 1881 living with Sarah & her new husband & children. Where could he be?

I suppose he could have been anywhere, but where is he likely to be, geographically,NSE or W! where was his mother?

Was Sarah an unmarried mum? In which case George may have been farmed out to another relative/foster home. nell

Maybe they just thought he need not be added as he was a baby! or kept him off due to his mother being single!
