Jack Daniels! 

Maybe we should invite Pestrop Cola - 1881 to the party, Tabitha!

Theres also a "Bottled Beer" on the 1881 census born Abyssinia Naturalized British Subject, Africa who seems to be in the Royal Navy

Now these three are from what is said to be 'The oldest profession  .

Thomas WHORE - 81 British Census / Lincoln Withcall, ( hope he gave his phone number)
Benjamin WHORE - 1881 British Census / Norfolk
Mary WHORE - 1881 British Census / Gloucester

 By 1901 we only have

Now this 'Joker' likes the stage to himself:

 John JOKER     Boarder     U     Male     18     Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales     Clerk

Looks like broakham's 'retired' , with emily and tabotha fighting it out for pole position.

Perhaps the tendency for this thread to plummet to the depths of profanity means we are coming to a close soon... but I think pom deserves a big hand    for her Wankers, nonetheless!

Posted elsewhere on rootschat:

Valentine Valentine
Valentine Card - not on the censuses, but born 14 Feb 1913 (I think).

And on another thread entirely, have a look for the HAIR family in the censuses, in the West Midlands, and see if you can find the unfortunately-named daughter.

Shall we close on Friday at 5pm?

best wishes

OK, I've only just joined RootsChat, but I've caught the Censuswhack bug..

Plenty of girls are named after the summer months, but there's a surprising number called January or March.  And how about:

February Charles (1881) and February Arney (1901)
October Clements (1871-91; becomes October Booth in 1901)
December Boswell (1901)

John January Winter (1871) must have really felt the cold....

Beatrice May January Draper (1901) is just plain confusing!  Conceived in May and born in January, perhaps?

And I can only presume that the parents of New Year Booker, New Year Maw and New Year West were absolutely blotto when they came up with those names!
