Welcome to Censuswhack, all you 'newcomers' - there's always room for one more up top!  Edith and Florence Thug will be coming around to take your fares shortly!

Hope you don't get too bitten by the bug ... Manchester Rambler now spends at least 16 hours a day scouring the censuses. 

She's lost her job, her partner, taken up smoking and high-octane caffeine, all in the cause of Censuswhacking!  But we love her for it!

I think we'll have to foresake the points thing, but I will try to update the master list when I get a chance!  (Didn't forsee this becoming a full time job when I started this thread :) :) :))

I don't subscribe to Ancestry but I would love to know if my g.g. grandmother was the only Mirwen Maria.   I've also seen spelling variants of Murwen/Murven/Marwin Maria.   She died in 1901.

Jill

Hi Jill, Have you tried the variant Morwen?

Hi Jen,

Thanks for your reply.   I have borne the name Morwen in mind when carrying out searches for her but she has always appeared as one of the other variants.   Since the beginning of this thread I have received her death certificate with yet another variation - she was registered as Mervin Maria!
