I came across a James TOMLINSON who appears on the 1881 census twice at two separate addresses! He married a Mary Sophia LORD, who was born in Sunderland abt. 1839, but on the 1881 census, James appears as a 'patient' at 2 Thurnham St Dispensary, Lancaster, while on the same census he appears to be residing at an address in Main Street, Skerton, Lancashire. 1) Is this unusual to have an individual appear to be at two different locations on the same census (it's definately the same person)? 2) What is a 'dispensary'... is it another name for a hospital? Kind regards... David Allan.
