	he may have just been 'missed' but it is possible he is there just very mistranscribed! Always worth posting the details and see if someone can find him.

	I couldn't find one of my families on the census, but with help from some great people on this site, they found them for me. I was looking for the name Innes and it had been mistranscribed as James.
