Census entries, duplicate records question
Posted: 09 Jan 2023 10:59
Perhaps one for Nick
I have discovered that in 1911, my great Uncle is recorded in the 1911 Census of Ireland (same date as E&W), with his entire family, including siblings up to the age of 30+ (which I thought odd, but not impossible of course)
I have since found one of the older sisters, married in 1904 in Fylde, Lancs, and then found her, plus 2 children and 2 of her siblings listed as lodgers, recorded on the 1911 E&W census in Manchester.
Perhaps a case of mis-interpretation for the Irish entries, but, what will happen if I try to record them again for the 1911 - will it want to overwrite the original entries or is it possible to add them a second time, perhaps with a note of explanation?
Thanks. Thought I'd ask before potentially making a mess as I've never come across this scenario before.
