I recently encountered an intriguing line in an old census, conducted a brief search, and published a plausible speculation concerning an explanation.
I did so, not because I naively believed that I had "proved" anything, but because I naively believed that I would be able to post a timely follow-up demonstrating the need to eliminate the other possibilities for the identity of Joseph Davies (b 1882).
Simple arithmetic should have shown me that I was gravely mistaken. Matching the details of each of 10 individuals at three (and possibly four) nominated points in time was always going to require at least an order of magnitude greater time than I had allowed.
I have not abandoned the task; just assigned it a lower priority.
