I suppose it could be, but you'd be surprised at how many people used to share houses. |

Thanks Kath, thats what I thought, but looking at the census for a Norfolk village there are about 7 families all with lots of children only divided by one line, who couldn't possibly be living in one house! Do you think they could be in a row of cottages?Sue |

If there is one line between families it usually means that they are living in the same house but as a separate household. |

Can anyone tell me why some families have one line and others two dividing them from their neighbours ( 1841 census) ? Many thanks Sue |
