Hi
Does anyone know if the 1911 census may have been staggered, ie not done on the same day? I seem to have done the impossible and found the same person in two census's! Kathleen May Deacon is at home with mum and dad in swindon and also with her Aunt in Lambeth!! I am 90% sure it's the same person but how can that be?

I agree with Running Bear - I think some people misunderstood that they only count the people in the household at the time the census was taken and added all their family.
