        Maybe they were alive when the forms were filled in, but they'd died by the time the enumerator came to collect them.

          How extraordinary!

          It does mean that, if any of them are names you're researching, you must have a pretty good idea when they died.

            I always thought that you were supposed to only enter names of people actually residing there that night ???? so they should not have been put on there anyway.

              They had to say who slept in the place the previous night, if I remember rightly. So if they were alive that night presumably they had to be entered on the census form.

                I imagine they were alive when the form was filled in, but dead by the time the form was collected, poor souls.

                    There is a very small part of an Irish census on ancestry, think it's part of Antrim 1851 or something like that, and for each household it includes anybody who has died since the previous census with details of when they died. Shame there was nothing like that on the English, Welsh and Scottish ones, though perhaps the reason they could put it on the Irish one was that families tended to stay put in the same place more than they did here?

                          The census-type info available for Lithuania has similar info.
