Yes !

My grt grt grandmother was a monthly nurse .
In 1881 she is listed at her home address and the address where she was attending a new mother

Am guessing she was at the new mums but her husband mistakenly thought she lives with us so he gave her name to the enumerater too

Thanks for the replies. I can stop looking for a birth certificate for what I thought might be two different people. Susan

Yes, often.

For one example, a child in my tree spending the night of the census with her grandparents was listed correctly with her grandparents, but also at home with her parents.

Has anyone else found an ancestor listed at two different addresses in a census? I think I’ve found my great great grandfather in Kenilworth and Kings Norton on the same night!
