1901 Census Robert Gransden noted as living at Ashburnham near Molong. Parish ?Naugar?, no details given of family members. A note is on the page saying that Robert Gransden could not be seen as he was away from his abode, also that the schedule was loast/ gone away. This may account for the seemingly odd information with Robert Gransden on two census returns. This second census sheet, could not be attached to the Ancestry tree, due to lack of indexation.
