I wonder if anyone could help or advise. I have hit a brick wall in finding a couple of people on some census records. Would it be the case that sometimes people did not get included, or got missed out in some way? What other reasons would there be for not taking part in the census?
Just in case it is me, here are the details:
I am looking for information on the early life of Rosannah Goode, born 1853 in Birmingham. She married Matthew Frederick Edwards in 1871, and her father is listed as Benjamin Goode on certificate.
All of have of her is her marriage listing, and then her and Matthew's family in the 1891, 1901 census (where she is now listed as Rosamond Edwards). There is no birth register for her, the only other Rosannah goode was b 1857 in West Brom ( which I know is not her)
I can't find Rosannah listed in any other census i.e the 1861, or 1871 census (under Edwards or Goode in 1871, or Edwards in 1881), and I can't link any Benjamin Goode's to her (there are not many Benjamin Goode's at all in any of the census listings).
I have tried different spellings etc..
Are some people just untraceable. What other avenues could I try?
Many Thanks
