I have a family who emigrated to Canada in 1873. They had four children born in Ontario. Two of them appear on Ancestry in the birth records and two do not. They were all born in the years allotted to the records, so can anyone tell me why two of them are missing.

How standard is the name? How easy to mistranscribe?

Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned the M-word here! Little Nell has a whole dictionary of oddities, and I have quite a few. Sometimes they seem to be just wilful... forgetting to change surnames between households, even when the names are clearly written, is just one bizarre census trick.
Richardson ought to be OK, but you never know!
If you can search with wildcards, it's worth a try. And putting in everything but the surname, say.

Maybe they appear as Female Richardson - not named by the time of registration. I recently was digging around in one of my roots and found that 6 out of 10 children were listed that way. OR you think that he was called "George" but he was registered as "Charles George". We could not find OH' great grandmother. When she was found we discovered her first name was Jane. Good LuckDonelda
