Hi Listers On researching my ROBINSON line I have found yet another HARRISON line (the 2nd as yet unconnected to the 1st) According to 1901 Census Elizabeth HARRISON age 71 born in Greenside and Elizabeth HARRISON age 52 born in Coalburn were living at 22 East Street Spen, Chopwell. Their relationship to the head, George ROBINSON, was grandmother and aunt respectively. My problem is that I cannot find them on the 1881 Census anywhere. Could they have been missed off? I have run a search online but I seem to be drawing blanks. Has anyone found a similar problem during their research whereby ancestors seem to be missing one year and turn up another? I guess they may have been living somewhere else even abroad maybe. Any light shed would be greatly appreciated.

Right, here's a thought for the 1881 but it might be totally wrong. Have been on the LDS website. Living at Spen 38 Clayton Terrace, Chopwell is a family called HERRON including 2 Elizabeths, mother (born Greenside) and daughter (born Chopwell) aged 53 and 31. Head of house was George Herron. Living at Spen 42 Clayton Terrace, Chopwell is a family called ROBINSON including a George (born Crawcrook) aged 8. Head of house was Samuel Robinson. Is it possible that Harrison has been mistranscribed to Herron?
