Aha. Fantastic. Best one since the guy born at sea who gives the longitude and latitude on every census.

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.  ;D
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.
