Henry isn't with the family in 1861 - the entry is ordinary. I haven't found them in 41 nor Henry in 61 - maybe he is in prison for his Chartist activities.

Aaah shame there's no more, but maybe that just makes it all the more special...!

Hi

I love it!!!!! Thanks  ...it's as good as the one where the father is described as an "international playboy" and a son a 'ponce' ...can't remember their names 

found them in 1841 under ELLERS ...no humour on that one

Brilliant - why don`t I come across entries like this when transcribing?

I can`t help but wonder if the the amusing Henry F Ellis was the enumerator!!  Unfortunately our well know site beginning with A only has the first page of the enumerators district with what appears to be the checkers initials on it, and not the one where the enumerator signs his name. 

Thanks for posting it again as I never saw it the first time around.
