Hi,
Until I sent them a correction my great aunt Jackaline Austin was the only female  Jack Wilson in the 1901 census. The transcriber obviously saw the letters Jack...... and just gave up. She is now the only Jackaline that I have come across. Her name is spelled the same way on her birth cert. When she married she used the more conventional Jacqueline.

Cheers,

Peterb

Some time back, I was searching for the marriage of my g-grandmother's sister in YorkshireBMD and found that she married a man called John Quck. I assumed that a transcription error at some point was most likely. I checked UKBMD and found the only Quck - birth marriage or death to be:

Marriages Dec 1884
Plummer    Eliza     Leeds    9b   584   
Quck    John       Leeds  9b     584   

A fellow rootschatter was able to track him down for me as John Quirk in the '91 census. Even so, his marriage registration would be unique.

Well, Peter, you certainly deserve points for these - pity its not Scrabble we're playing, when you'd bag 16 for Quck!

How about a bit of support    for the lone

Elizabeth MAMMARY, 17, in Staffordshire in 1871?

And please, no nasty comments about the female dog family in Barrow-in-Furness in 1891.

Presumably, Thomas BIKE in Bethnal Green in 1891, wasn't riding a tandam

Time to hold your nose, as we welcome to the party Ernest CESS, St Pancras in 1901

Looks like this family is heading too the catmeat factory...

Edmund & Emily KNACKER, Tunbridge in 1891

I think I need a rest now!

Ever wonder what Mr Tesco did before opening his supermarkets?

It seems he was a Bandmaster in the royal Navy

Mr Antonia Tesco is living with his wife and son in Minster in Sheppey in 1881

And I also found Mr Thomas Lidl and his wife Ann living in Bromley. He was a draper...a bit nearer to his later job....but I'd always thought he was German.....seems he was actually born in Middlesex ;
