I've found dead children, and children no longer living at home, listed on the 1911 census. In all cases I've recognised, the enumerator has crossed through the dead or absent children.
I've also found a man leaving his wife and adopting the surname of the woman he was living with. Only when he died did he revert to his true surname. In his case it was obvious as his birthplace was unusual. Had he been born John Smith from Lambeth, things would have proved more challenging.
