All across the world wide web, planted where you least expect them, are hidden links that take you - yes, you've guessed it - to www.etherington.rootschat.com

I savour every 'Doh!' that is uttered, as unwitting Rootschatters find themselves caught in a snare. 

What looks at first like a harmless US genealogy blog turns out to be nothing more than a front, hiding yet another hidden link to my parlour.

I swear I heard your 'Doh!'  all the way from Leeds to the Wirral, Jill! :)

There is no escape!

As for MR - yet more Censuswhack gems!

cheers

Paul

You might think you heard 'Doh!' but it sounded a bit stronger than that to me!  I swear I'm not going to fall into any of your traps again!

And by the way, you seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that because some of my research is in Leeds, so am I!  Wrong!  I'm a bit nearer to some of your ancestors than that - not the Durham lot although I have some of those as well!   You are getting ever closer to my net!

Hmm - now then, Dimps, your entry has prompted the World Federation to consider a motion to permit a NEW category of CensusWhacking... place of birth.  The result of their deliberations is expected in June 2006, but in the meantime we could always Censuswhack for place of birth 'just for fun'!

cheers

Strictly for 'fun', you understand...

Joseph Brown, 1901, was the only person born at any time in Pighwin, Yorkshire.  This is probably a mistranscription of Pigburn, but CensusWhack never lets a mistranscription get in the way of a good entry!

cheers

Trying a bit of lateral thinking on a lookup request, I failed to find the guy in question, but fell over a couple of Censuswhacks...

William Gainavel - Bedminster, 1891

John Novella Gainble - Saddleworth, 1891

Marcus & Frances Gumplesow - Edgbaston, 1891

Yes, the last 2 aren't technically a Censuswhack, but Gumplesow was too good to keep to myself!

Gumplesow Adjudication:

Probably brothers, therefore a technical CensusWhack - certainly the only representatives of the Gumplehow family in the country in any census, and living in the same house.

Nice one!
