Well Jan, although I'm sure it would have been better all round if there had been two of them, you have indeed logged an 1871 Censuswhack! :)  Well done!

Well, it certainly looks like those transcribers at Ancestry are going to be responsible for a bumper crop of 1851 Censuswhacks... :)

Please allow me to introduce the WHIHWHAM family, living in Horton in Yorkshire.  I particularly like William Whihwham! :)

A great find, Monica!  You can add BATHERS McDonald from 1891, too!

The problem with the Whihwham family is that having looked at the image I'm at a loss as to say what exactly it might be! :)

I've had a look at the census and I see what you mean.  We can't blame the transcriber for this one.

If it's the enumerator's fault then could it have anything to do with the family living at 1 Brewery Lane?  Maybe he had a few before filling in the form!

There's some good threads on the Common Room page where people are identifying strangely written names.  How about posting this one for them to ponder?  (I would do it but every time I've tried so far, I've failed totally)
