The Park Conservation Trust — Historical Record

The same person, recorded twice

The census spreadsheets were loaded separately and name people differently — one holds Helena Brownsword Dowson, the other Helena Dowson. Where two records share a surname and first forename, were born within two years of each other, and never appear in the same census year, they are usually one person split in half.

Merging keeps one record and moves everything onto it: census entries, occupations, photographs, links. Blank fields on the kept record are filled from the other, and the biographies are joined. It cannot be undone, so check the two are really the same before merging.

Two people of one name both recorded in 1911 are usually two people, and are not listed here — with two exceptions. Nobody is in two households in the same year, so where the birth year matches and the two sit at different properties, one entry is wrong. And where they sit at the same property in the same year, born the same year, that is one household entered twice from two transcriptions of one page. Both are shown first.
