Dan

Perhaps you could let us know a reference for one of the census returns so we have a good look

The reason I know all this is that I like classical music, and Vaughan Williams wrote some beautiful music depicting the story.

Agreed this is wonderful music, and I had the privilege of hearing Sir Adrian Boult conduct it at his very last Promenade Concert in 1977.

Where are you Dan 

The tension of waiting for the reference so we can have a look at the original is playing on my poor old nerves.

Dan's listening to Mele's music

Maybe he's being comforted by it - Meles and Jennifer are now well away 

It would be nice to get a census reference but maybe we should all go off and hunt for a Job.Trott in any of them

I've looked at every Job Trott in the English censuses  1841-1901 and can't find any with a dot

There's a Job Trott on the 1891 census with a dot living at Barton upon Irwell in Lancashire.  Looking at other parts of the page, I think the enumerator was a bit too handy with his dots

There's a George just above him also with a dot after it.

Was he born in Somerset Dan?

[Gadget]

I  saw that one and just thought it was an extra flourish  He doesn't have one in the other censuses.

They all seem to have been from Somerset as far as I can remember.
