Censuswhack

[Paul E]

Well done, Andrew, with the FIRST confirmed 1841 Censuswhack

Sadly, Saith doesn't make it for 1841, because (improbably) there are 4 Saiths in that Census. 

The International Federation has asked me to remind everyone of the rules, in advance of the 2006 Censuswhack Olympiad, which this year is being held in Berlin (I imagine Berlin Bob will be reporting in on this for Rootschat):

The rules are simple: see if you can find

- a surname that occurs in only ONE family in any census
- a first name that only one person in the country has
- an occupation that only one person in the country has

Cheers

don't know if i've got the hang of it but

Ketwark Vyse abt 1776    Diss  Norfolk 

only 1 listed on 1841,

although i think her name is really Kehorah Vyse and there's none og those

Excellent find, w105uk!  The judges always take the indexed name as the guide, so even if its a mistranscription, Ketwark is definitely in!

Among several outstanding attempts at spelling Kerenhappuch in 1841, my vote goes to:

Kevernhappuck Cockrell - Essex

Keven Napperch Stephens - Berkshire

Keven Happuck Fletcher - Derbyshire

All unique in 1841!

I thought I would look for some "modern" names in the 1841 Census, and found these:

Jodie Mardenzie, North Kilworth, Leicestershire
(1,923 Joels!)
Wayne Weaks, St Pancras, Middx
Darren Morton, Bitton, Gloucestershire
Shannon Franklin, Prestwich cum Oldham, Lancs
Dawn Lady Johnstone, Thirsk Yorkshire (actually Dow^r - Dowager - Lady Johnstone)

Bored with those, for the time being.

How about:

The Tia Theye, Swalcliffe, Oxfordshire

The Tia Theye - surely a tribe from some naff fantasy novel?

Oh Paul!

I thought a complete name qualified - thus Saith Hackney in 1861 and overall; and Seth Hackney in each of the other censuses.

But no, I got the rules wrong ...

Sorry Nina

Well, as mistranscriptions on a certain site are permitted, I'll try to redeem myself with a mistranscription which has to be a Censuswhack ...

The following first name which in indexed in the 1871 census and nowhere else at all - Definitely Derided

And, just in case the International Federation permits only a single name, each component of the above also qualifies.

Cheers,

JAP
PS: And, on the topic of "modern" names, I could find only one 'Marilyn' (1871 - should be Mary).  And only one 'Britney' (indexed as Britney IVORY in 1891 - should be Sidney URRY).

I think I finally found one!

Buthnaoms Daybell - 1851 census (HO107/2134/160/20)

Ruth Naomi is her name!

Well done on a nice crop of new Censuswhacks!

Now all I need to do is find a spare fortnight to construct an up-to-date table of Censuswhacks...

cheers
