This will be difficult, it's always great to match up families in the Census and puzzling to discover that some members of families seem to disappear at census times and often a whole family cant be found.
I have fallen behind in the challenge, however i am determined to catch up.
I have mad lots of discoveries through the census, it is often a great way of matching relatives. My great grandmother and her sisters were often to be found to be staying with relatives at census time? Had something happened to their parents? I have noticed that children are residing with their grandparents and then at another time grandparents can be found residing with their grown up children, all very helpful when wanting to confirm a relative.
I have also discovered that a child had died and another child born and named after the deceased child. A census has also alerted me to investigate why a person isn't recorded on a census. A census address has also helped confirm that a relative is connected.
