: Why 'censi', to satisfy my curiosity? I know 'censi' and 'censii' are sometimes used instead of 'censuses', but can find no justification for them (certainly not in Latin).

William must have been around up until September 1840. British censi, since 1841, are always recorded in June. So William Rees “disappears” some time between June 1840 and June 1841. http://www.absoluterealtime.com/photos/Rees/TheReesFamilySto...
