They may be listed with yet another spelling you have not discovered (I have a few people that were counted twice in the same census which makes up for the ones they missed ). Or as a more likely reason, they were missed when the census was taken. I have one family I can not find it two consecutive censuses, they were in RI or MA but I can not find them, I find them in RI before and after. -- Robert Blair
