   Indeed; they could just be visiting their grandparents (or whatever) on   
   census night.   
      
   Also, I have two cases in my tree of someone who's in two places at   
   once; I think one's their normal abode and someone just forgot they were   
   away that night, and the other's where they were starting work at the   
   remote address but (someone) assumed it wasn't their permanent address.   
   I've also encountered (in the case of an inn) "refused to give name".
