Censuswhack

We knew you'd be back, emily!   Cold Pacific gets my vote ... you have to wonder exactly what was going through the minds of parents with some of these names, don't you?

cheers

Hi scrattletrap

Trap is VERY close to being a censuswhack - only four in 1891 but, alas, in different households / families.  No Scrattles to be found anywhere - shame, as its a wonderful name.   

cheers

In 1881 we have:

John Artic, Head aged 72 born Mile End.
Sarah Artic, Wife aged 63 born Southwark and,
John Artic, Son aged 19 also born Southwark.
Both the men are Warehousemen.

They're living in Southwark. They're the only Artics, Sarah being the only female!!

John American aged 20 born in London, a Commision Agent living in Brighton.
Nevell E. Norway son of Arthur aged 20, born Wadebridge, living in Formby.
Jules D'Africa (male) aged 50 born in Paris, a Professor in Languages living in Upton Cum Chalvey.

Brrr!  Feeling decidedly chilly, Ryan, what with these Cold Pacifics and Artics!

Paul, I'd be both shocked and amazed if there was another Scrattletrap out there.....
I'm oh so unique    (and I forgot to mention modest, yes I'm modest too, can't you tell)

[Paul E]

And a pretty mean photographer, too?!!!

and for those that haven't I think this is what Paul's talking about

This is very funny thread!

On the 1871 census I have a Freddy de Thours born France St Cloud(?). His sister Adelaide De Thours is in the same household but Im thinking her name has been transcribed differently as she doesnt come up for a search.

They are living with some possible distant relatives of mine, the Wellbeloveds!
