Just found the link to this post as I was looking for somewhere to post my census find.
On FreeCen 1861 census for 33yo Ann Evers, Occupation: Did Not Sleep.
Maybe the census taker gave Ann time for a cup of tea as she appears again as the next household with her two daughters and a lodger.
Actually, I've just had a thought - it probably meant it was Ann's house but she didn't sleep there, but next door. Ah well, it gave me a giggle.
