Hi List Just a short addendum to Gavin's reply: Those people discovered by the enumerator who were itinerant, possibly in a caravan or just under a hedge, would be given the address of "Roadside". Some of these folk might have been semi-permanent but would most likely have moved about a lot between censuses. Anyone dossing in the barns would likely be recorded as "Barnyard" or "Outhouse" but this might have included employed workers too. The details recorded for each person and the properties on successive Censuses changed frequently [e.g. the ages recorded in 1841 are differently calculated from every other census] but, as Gavin says, the rules for *who should be included* have stayed the same. -- Best wishes Ray ********************************************************** >From Ray Hennessy Forenames website: www.whatsinaname.net Preferred Email address: ray@whatsinaname.net Hints for Scotland's People at http://bit.ly/WIAN-SCP **********************************************************
