Donna, the grandmother of my great uncle by marriage was just the same. Deborah Dawson, a widow, was on the 1881-1901 records, no problem. Could I find her in 1871? Not a chance. Neither could I find the son (grt-uncle's dad). So I did a Christian name search for one of the kids, and found a Deborah South, 'husband' James, kids named South. I cross-reference with the other records - what do I find but Deborah as head of house with James South as lodger. I wonder if there was a misunderstanding when 1871 was collected - it was assumed that they were a married couple, perhaps. |

Didn't see the need to lie - wrong info on census has given all of us a lot of hassle but I refused to put British as my nationality and entered English as did all of the family. |
