Censuswhack

[Paul E]

As my application for an invite for the Royal Wedding was cruelly snubbed (aparrently there's no room at this bash for ex-es of the bride!), I shall be heading north for the weekend to visit my dear mamma.

As I will be unable to visit Rootschat, I am trusting Censuswhackers to be good and not to try to find too many references in the censuses to

The Pope, The Grand National or Royal Weddings.

best wishes

Paul

PS

So NO mention of Julia A Jockey in Shropshire in 1901, please!

I've found plenty of Popes....(it's my grandmothers maiden name)......none called "The" yet though

How about Cornelius Pope, who married Magdalene Parson in Rottingdean in 1724?

(No, not off a census, but too good to miss!)

hello paul,

thought I had a candidate for your censuswhack with 'Onesiphorous Coltman'.  I wonder what it was shortened too?  incidentally, my own name only comes up once on ancestry over the 1871-1901 censuses, but that doesn't count does it?

regards,

andy

Paul,

I'm delighted to see you are still keeping a watchful eye on him/her! 

I know one thing with absolute certainty: if it hadn't been for all the help I have received from you and other Censuswhackers this woman's never-ending name and age variants would have had me banging my head on a brick wall for a very long time, so a VERY BIG THANKYOU TO YOU ALL!

Not a Censuswhack, as he doesn't appear in the Censuses - nor do any siblings or other relatives, but there's a BMD reference to a William AINTREE died Sept Qtr 1851.

Hi,

My best offer is finding the Vicar of Aintree, William Warburton on the 1881 census.  He was visiting in Prestwich.
