	If male - they could be in the army or navy. Possibly in prison or in hospital. Most likely that they have been mistranscribed - particularly if surname is not one of the most common surnames. Also, bear in mind that ages stated on censuses might not be brilliantly accurate so allow for that as well. Jill
