Anecdotal: I found my grandfather and his parents etc in the 1881 (Great Britain) census. His brother of 7 was with an unrelated family 100 miles away. I asked my father, who said that his uncle would have been visiting (for pleasure or a short period of good country air), and then told me what he had been told as a child of the friendship between the families, of the business history of the other family, and of how, when the son of the other family had died, they had brought in a bright young man to develop as an alternative future manager of the business - who later married my great-aunt, having met her when *she* was visiting the family friends. myths@ic24.net
