I once found out that my ancestor George Musgrave was born in Evenwood, Durham in 1856. I looked on the 1881 census on FamilySearch (this was before all other censuses were released) and found George Musgrave, he was married by then, but I then found a Henry Musgrave born c1858 in Evenwood still living with parents Henry and Elizabeth so assumed they were George's by name and birthplace. But when more censuses came online I found George was the son of Thomas and Ann.
A few times I have climbed (direct ancestor wise) the wrong tree but found the tree was extended family.
