Perhaps the enumerator (or more likely the indexer) was having a bad day?

I know these are common enough names but I thought the combination was fairly unusual  :)

My g grandfather John Abbott married Eve Saint and then (later and illegally) Ellen Saint. Their daughter Elizabeth married Henry Virgin.

Since the family was quite prolific, I think this is a testament to Victorian moral values, since there appeared to be only 3 Whores in England in 1881 (Benjamin in Filby, Mary in Gloucester and Thomas in the improbably named Withcall). There don't seem to have been any before or after 1881  ;)

And most especially the origins of William Cannings,  a Baptist, born abt 1791 in Broughton Gifford, Wiltshire

Hi Paul

I also have a Crook in the family, but on the other side from the Saints.  ::)

I also have an Elizabeth Bush - I wonder if she ever met your horticultural ancestors...

How about Alfred Dancey on the 1881

gives his occupation as L V The Elephant.

His wife gives no occupation, but then what else would you do but be a housekeeper, married to an elephant.

John White of Kings Norton is the 1881's only  Ache Tree Finisher.  Sounds painful to me.

Unfortunately two of them so they don't count, but Jane Needham and daughter Jane are both Shark Head Dressers.

Mary Lay is the only Chemist Without Poison on the 1881, did they not trust her with it, I note she was a widow!

Rachel Matthews is about to come into her own as the only 1881 Flower Girl (Easter)

And on to age

Mary A Manning is 666666 years old in 1871, her hsuband being a mere 68.

Martha Standering is 888888 years old in 1891,

That's it for now
