has anyone else had people added to their families i've just gone on the 1891 census for the pope family hatield and they have added 10 more people to it on the 1881 census they have left out 3 of my family hazel.

I'm not quite sure what you mean? Could you give details of the two households in 1881 and 1891 so we can take a look? Merry

Maybe the missing family members had left home or were visiting when the census was taken?

mandy,i have the census of 1891 before they changed it all and the 10 people we'rent on there then hazel

Before who changed it? What extra 10 people? where are you looking to see them and who are they? I can only see the two households with the people you mention! Merry

I just see James Letitia Emily Frank Arthur on both censuses and Ernest on the 1881, who I imagine has left home by 1891. merry

Oh, got you now......in 1891 you mean this: Household Members: Name Age Annie Pope 34 Arthur Pope 18 Charles Pope 6 Edgar Pope 9 Edmund Pope 12 Emily J Pope 37 Frank Pope 24 George Pope 1 Harry Pope 5 Herbert Pope 7 James Pope 65 Letitia Pope 59 Teresa Pope 3/12 Harriett Watson 21 Alice Woodman 21 Merry

merry , i've just gone back to 1891 census and put in james pope 1826 middlesex hornsey head and it came up with annie as his wife charles 6 edgar 9 edmond 12 harry 1 herbert 7 teresa 3/12 harriet watson 21 alice woodman 21 these people are not part of my family hazel

When you look at the original page for the 1891 census Pope family......if you turn the page to the next census page you will see the next family begins with Annie Seagroatt who is down as Wife rather than Head of her household. I think the transcriber must have had a few, as he/she has transcribed this family with the name Pope as well and didn't make then a separate household either!! Harriet Watson and Alice Woodman are part of the Seagroatt household too! Merry

it's a good job the Seagroatts are not your relations, as you wouldn't have found them!! Merry

thank you merry, i think i need a drink now after that , i thought my god where did they come from i thought 3x g/mother had been a naughty girl lol hazelx
