My ancestors were missed on a census also. In 1851 the numerator wrote at the beginning
of his census papers for Pittsburgh Ontario that there was a huge snow storm that made it difficult to do his job. Neighbours are on the census, not my ancestors. The house was a long way off the main road. At least they are in the City Directory for that year, although it does not list all family members.

you can tour the locations for filming the Outlander Series.

Note: There will be no High
Fives next week as I am away visiting family and telling my grandchildren about their ancestors.
A couple of those High Fives stuck home or will be worth looking at :D As you know the 1921 Canadian census missed the whole block where my mother and her family were living - the first census she would have been on. It was heart breaking when I discovered that but thinking maybe I should have another look to see if somehow they have appeared...
