A Missing Census Record

I just cannot find it. In 1900, Petronellia and Samuel Reed had 7 children under the age of 18, but I cannot find a census record for the family. I have searched the Ancestry indexes in creative ways for every person in the family and come up empty. I have searched their assumed township and surrounding townships in Missouri name-by-name and come up empty. Where were they? Did the census taker miss them?

Welcome to the Geneabloggers family. Hope you find the association fruitful; I sure do. I have found it most stimulating, especially some of the Daily Themes.
May you keep sharing your ancestor stories!

I had a similar problem and finally found the family in Canada visiting relatives. Good luck on your search.
