Hi Margaret
Do you mean to keep looking at the same side of family or try another?

Hi Stacey,

When checking a census always have a look at the original document, as this may have been transcribed incorrectly. Also, check the neighbours as lots of families lived in the same streets -and finally, if the entry for your family starts at the top or bottom of a page, check the preceding/following page in case the transcriber has missed anyone!

Best of luck with your searches

...and well spotted Tom.
