I am starting to wonder how much information was actually written down on the doorstep and how much was just committed to memory and then transferred to paper back at HQ.
I have a complicated family with very common names and lots of parallel families. Parents die between 41 and 51 and I immediately "lose" two of their daughters, who could have married 20 times over, or died 50 times in the next 10 years.
So I was peeved, after abandoning the search for them, to find them lodging with their married sister...but described as lodgers, not sisters-in-law to the head.
Now, even the dimmest bloke on earth would know that these two women living in his house were his wife's sisters, so I can only assume that the enumerator didn't write that bit down and couldn't remember who they were when he started to write out the schedules.
I am 95% sure it is the two missing sisters...but would have liked written confirmation from the enumerator!
