I found a Censuswhack (I think) that reflected my thoughts after my absolem goof-up... but hesitated to post it because I thought it would be very bad taste.  Then, I realized that the poor woman with this name recorded for the ages was probably me in a past life... so, it's okay.

You're too hard on yourself, Duckcharm - an excellent Censuswhack! :) :)

I wonder if Dummy ever met DOH Scholefield, in Suffolk in 1871? :)

Maybe Dummy and Doh knew

Ditsy Millard 1901 Dorset ?

Edited for Post Script: Nope... Dummy couldn't have known Ditsy because they are both me in my past lives!

Well, ger_g, I'll have to take your word for a US Censuswhack, as I only have access to the English and Welsh Censuses!

CensusWhack USA  :) is headed up by the Genealogue
http://genealogue.blogspot.com/2005/06/censuswhacking-in-america.html

but if you fancy moderating any US entries here on Rootschat, ger_g, you are very welcome!

best wishes

Paul

Oops... didn't realise the U.S. were off-limits!  I did find one there with occupation 'Boler In Mile' though. That's a very long lane; I wonder how he sees the pins at the other end. Haha
