Subject: [NYNEWYOR] Multiple census records for 1870
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 18:34:22 EDT

Just a curiosity. As I was re-checking the Ancestry records for an ancestor
in the 1870 New York City census', I found three census' for the same family.
I understand about the second enumeration, but found no duplication of
neighbors names on any of the three pages. I have no way of telling whether there
are three different addresses, though there are two different wards listed.
The dates for the three census' were: 10 January, 20 June, and 2 August, all
1870.

The same ancestor was listed twice on the same page in the 1860 New
York City census; maybe he (or his wife) was trying to get "multiple listing."
