Ever lose a family? 1900 Census Problem

I have been going nuts over this problem all afternoon. A few days ago I located a target family in the 1900 Census and jotted down the details:

Tallapoosa County Alabama, Goldbranch District, Precinct 1
J T Duett (head b. 8/1857) - 42
M A (wife) - 39
Maggy F (daughter) - 10
Tillie R (daughter) - 6
Herman J (son) - 3

Unfortunately, I didn't save the record in my shoebox or write down the household number.

Today, I can no longer find the census record. I have tried all of the search strategies that I can think of and have looked at all of the pages of this district twice with no success.

Has this ever happened to you? Can someone give me a hand or advice on how to find this lost family?
