The Common Room / Names in Victorian England
« on: Saturday 16 February 08 07:00 GMT (UK)  »
Here's an interesting factoid...

Having transcribed about 50,000 census entries from 1861 in Sussex - about half of them female - we have found just ONE girl called Victoria.  Victoria had been Queen for nearly a quarter of a century by now; why haven't parents named their daughters after her?  Any suggestions? ???

The museum was the Kauri Museum at Matakohe 0593, Northland.  They have a website at www.kaurimuseum.com.

Thanks to everyone for these replies.  I'd forgotten about Google maps etc since we last looked for William...

Thanks Pauline, yes this is him.  We suspect that Ashton was a farm or hamlet near Bishops Waltham.  The Parish Register calls him William "of Ashton" at his son's Baptism (William chr 1728).

Thanks - we have the census entry already.  (He really is Edwin, not Lewis, on the entry itself).
