Has anybody come across a relative who appears twice in a census? I just have, my gt gt aunt Emily in the 1911 census. She is at home in Monewden Suffolk with her 3 sons & then at her daughters house at Mickfield Suffolk!

Not mine personally - mine were adept at appearing nowhere, conversely.

But it does happen, especially when people were visiting -- and what a lot of gallivanting about people did seem to do!

Yours looks like a classic example. Emily was visiting a married daughter? But her family at home thought Well, she lives here -- so they reported her there too.
