Why Would someone Be Missing From a Census

I have someone I believe to be my 2x ggf. He is on the 1841 Census with wife & 3 children, he is missing from 1851 but the rest of the family are there, then in 1861 he's back with the family. Perhaps he enlisted but what conflicts/wars were going on during that time? Also, I think the 1841 census shows him as a launderer (wife is laundress) yet he has become butler by 1861. It doesn't seem a logical progression to me. My current theory is that he enlisted. became batman to an officer & carried on as a butler after he left the services. Any other theories would be welcome. |
