I have spent almost all day, since 9a.m., chasing ONE stupid ancestor.
There are three couples, same names, same ages, same occupations, so I decided to trace all three of them right from 1841 to 1901 to see what transpired.
They don't know how old they are. They don't know where they were born. All their children have the same names. Everyone flits about all over the world between census, change their wives, then get back with the old wives for another census. They swap their jobs to things which MIGHT be in keeping with what they did before - or might not be.
I am really no wiser than I was this a.m. and considerably more confused!
