Well, Jan, a capful of what some might say were 'easy' points (foreign names! ;)), more than redeemed by the magnificent Zipper Buggs! ;D ;D ;D

A good morning's Censuswhacking!

The prospect of an entry for 'Censuswhacking' in Wikipedia being deleted on the grounds that it is a neologism seems to be emerging.

You can have your say on the subject at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censuswhacking

Rootschatters can still . entry!

cheers

Hi Annie - seems they have a discussion 'thingy', might be a good idea to say why we want to keep Censuswhacking, also looks like you can only vote to remove it..............or am I being thick.

I know this doesn't count because there are quite a few 'Readhead' families on the 1891 census - but I just found Robinson Readhead (ironmonger - that would explain the redness!) with his family ... including daughter Sensitive E Readhead ... aahh, poor sweet thing!
