Even more off topic, it is a good job that houses do not have dynamic
addressing like many computers, sorry network cards, sorry networks.
Would be just like finding 'Holly' last year.
For census purposes does a boat have an address, particularly if it is a
genuine CC'er?
The numbers are probably not significant today, however, how did the
census deal with this problem when significant numbers of narrowboat and
barge workers, lived aboard and moved round the country on a daily
basis? Maybe this should be the subject of a new thread?

From 1871 onwards it became the responsibility of the enumerators to enumerate
such vessels. They handed the person in charge of the vessel a ship's schedule,
and collected them when completed. The information they contained was then entered
into their enumerators' books at the end of the household entries. From 1881 this
applied not only to vessels which had been given schedules prior to census day but
also to barges and the like which appeared in the enumeration district on that day.
