It was ever thus. I too have seen people enumerated multiple times on censuses.

I think its clear not everyone followed these instructions fhtess1165, given i can place some relatives in 3 places and other relatives not listed at all, even allowing for families with people in them with the same name.
Spong, Taylor, Ferdinando, Lawley, Cox, Sinkins, Morris, Sidney, Keel, Montgomery, Barlow, Izzard, Pearce, Warboys, River, Sherrell, White, Beake

I think you have two families, one of which may have been recorded in two places. Are you certain who Eileen's parents were?
Berks / Oxon: Eltham, Annetts, Wiltshire (surname not county), Hawkins, Pembroke, Partridge
Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge
Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt
Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)
Jersey: Fowler, Huelin, Scott

It would appear so  ::)
So the American connection is no more, it looks like that side of the family is Irish.

Dismissing the Gateshead connection, It still poses the question that the 1939 Register shows them at 25 Banff Road and 7 Fishermore Road.
