1891 shows us 39 people named Horatio Lord Nelson. One of them was a 47 year old servant from Reedham - yr.humble servant, no doubt.
There were only 2 Abraham Lincolns around - perhaps many John Wilkes Booths? However Clerkenwell was hiding General George Washington, a more popular General than Atilla Thunderberry of Nottingham.
I claim a point for Mr. Thunderberry - a spectacular name. 8)

1891.
Much kinder were the  parents of Susan Godly Friend.
Very quaint pieces of transciption are seen with:
Queen Victoria Jun. of Westgate Northumberland - the actual sheet says Queen Victoria Inn, not occupied at night.
Odd Fellowes of Rowley Regis seems strange but not quite as queer as Odd Fellows Hall, Winterton - an empty building but transcribed as a person.
Also notable in the same way was Frederick I God Waine - the page says Frederick I. Godfrey Waine.
Displeased with Mum & Dad was Mental Harris, Leeds, Yorkshire.
What should we make of Large Bee, of Notts or his/her relative Wasp Spencer?
Should we worry there were 113 Swindlers around? Or is it already too late?

 :) To ward off Hackstaple's

Quote
I have this diabolical trio:
Seedes Satan, a fireman [!] on the SS city of Baltimore in dock at Birkenhead.
Walter Devil, a 13 year old servant of Whiston Staffs and
Jane Imp, 25 year old servant of North Mundham, Sussex.

I have:

Mary COE     Daur     U     Female     11     Northwold, Norfolk, England     Scholar     
 Jesus COE     Son     U     Male     5     Northwold, Norfolk, England     Scholar

(Not sure where Joseph got too, checked a few doors both sides but he’s not there, could this be him looking for beds?)

Jesus is not on the 1901 census, now where did he go?

Following on from Tabitha's Snowdrop in 1871 I came across a rather interesting family in Bray:

        Benbow Rolls          Bray, Berkshire, England     Son     Bray     
   Bluebell Rolls    Bray, Berkshire, England    Daughter    Bray    
   Daisy Rolls        Bray, Berkshire, England    Daughter    Bray    
   Mary Ann Rolls        Bray, Berkshire, England    Wife    Bray    
   May Rolls        Bray, Berkshire, England    Daughter    Bray    
   Ocean Rolls        Bray, Berkshire, England    Daughter    Bray    
   Richard Rolls        Bray, Berkshire, England    Head    Bray    
   Seaflower Rolls        Bray, Berkshire, England    Daughter    Bray    
   Snowdrop Rolls       Bray, Berkshire, England    Daughter    Bray

Only Bluebell and Seaflower seem unique in 1881 but I thought the family set was nice :)

I've just noticed that people really do seem to look forwards to Fridays...

there are at leat 15 Fridays, in 1881, 6 Mondays, 2 Thursdays and Sundays just one Wednesday (    Wednesday Garratt     abt 1861     Youlgreave, Derbyshire, England)  and Tuesday and Saturday have been completely neglected :(

Rather appropriately, in 1881 there is only one

Lonely Willerton, aged 5 :'(

Ten years later, and she's still all on her own in 1891 aged 15. :'(

Wonder if she'll find any friends in 1911?
