1901 Crayford Kent we find Cock Robin living in a common lodging house. No A.Sparrow in sight but, irrelevantly, another lodger is Acorn Jack. Both are described both as Tramps and as Navies [read Navvies]. ;D
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

Hack, your discovery of Acorn Jack had me rushing to the 1901 census, where I found 3 Acorns - the other two were both born in 1892 and were living in Chadderton, near Oldham. 

Now THAT must be a story in itself ...  Acorn Isherwood and Acorn Hales - wonder what prompted this strange co-incidence?   Possibly a bet between a couple of drinking companions? :)

cheers

Following the Acorn find I thought there would be a lot more mileage in Censuswhacks growing on trees.  Alas I found only one:

Benjamin WALNUT (Kent, 1881, 1891 & 1901)

Unless you count Banana Pointer (Norfolk, 1891) who Chui found back in March.

Just found my great aunt Annie Patience YOUNG.

She has been transcribed by Ancestry as:

Annie PETRONIL YOUNG

Couldn't find any other Petronil's in Ancestry's free trial 8)

Yep! - its an 1901 Welsh CensusWhack!
There's an 1881 Petronil Mason in Llanelly, which is another, so two points for that one, SS.

cheers

Free Stone is certainly a peach of a name from the 1881 - more decorous than Free Stockingwhilst I notice the Chief Coastguard of Kent, Thomas Jackson had a 7 year old son Stonewall Jackson. 8)

My grandmother's brother, Joseph Smith, married Vilo Lilian Playford in 1900.
Vilo is an unusual name and prone to mistranscription, giving these first name Censuswhacks :-

1891 Searching with 'Vils'
1901 (PRO) Searching with 'Vils Sm*' (search engine won't allow forename only search)

1901 (Ancestry) finds three ladies called Vilo, but only one Vilo Smith
