Censuswhack

[Paul E]

Hi Martin

Well, Vilo is a genuine Censuswhack for 1881 and 1861 - Vilo Gay, an Italian living in London and George Vilo George, also in London - respectively.

Too many Uria's in all of the indexed censuses (and thousands of Cadman's), Skooner... even in 1841 there is likely to be more than one (but hopefully we'll know sometime within the next 12 months!

Stonewall, too, is commoner than one would imagine - and, unsurprisingly, all the Stonewall Jacksons are from 1871 onwards.
And sorry, Hack, but Freestone won't cut the mustard with the International Federation, as there are at least four in every census from 1861 onwards.

Poor Rate White - now you're talking!  And in 1871, there's another poverty-stricken CensusWhack, Poor Jack Hunt.
Excellent ger_g!

A ferw more "one-offs", courtesy of Ancestry:  (sorry if these have already been spotted- there's 31 pages of this thread to look through).  Some of these are definitely Albert WEIRD (1861)

John DUMPS (1861)
Mary Jane SHITE (1861)
Maria Jane and Maria Jane GRUBBY (1861)
George, Ellen, Ellen and Albert CRUD  (1871)
Jane SLATTERN (1871)
Elizabeth A GRIMEY (1871)

Thank heavens there are two BLEACHER families (1871) and three CLEANER families (1871) to get rid of the mess!

Snakes alive (but not many of them, Suey)!

I always like two for the price of one, Skooner - an excellent find!

And Phillip, definately a bag of grubbiness there!

For my own part, I've just enountered Sike Isaxtar in 1871 (not the only Sike in England - there's even a Sike Bike!)

In 1881 Census Brett was 1 month old and living at 5 Woods Passage, Hastings.

Yes, indeedy, Milord Hack - a certain Censuswhack!

From 1861 - NOT a Censuswhack as there are two Census' in that year - but nevertheless a supremely ironic comment on the role of the enumerator...

Tom Census Crapp, in Ladock, Cornwall.

.....and she is enumerated as Aquasha ...............real name?.....Augusta.

Censuswhacking is clearly a very serious business

What about Squash HAPPY in the 1880 US - we can't have any of that.

Or Ernest LAUGHTER in 1881 England & Wales - obviously a very serious chappie.
