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

....

And on to age

....

Martha Standering is 888888 years old in 1891,

That's it for now

Sue

I'm surprised Martha's Standering up at all at that age!   
The indexer must have fallen asleep at the keyboard - what's surprising is that they should have a field in their database for age which exceeds 3 numerical characters.

And as for Shark Head Dressers - lovely thought! - what a shame Jane and mother never passed the skills on to other generations!!!

Hi all

Just found William and Mary Burgess both aged 37 in the 1871 Census with daughter Louisa aged 38.

Hi,

Can we assume the child was born before wedlock?

Maybe time travel

A seasonal offering - not one and onlies, but too good to miss:

Easter Bunn - Gorleston, 1881

Ester Bunney - Keighley, 1871

Esther Egg - London, 1871

Easter Binge - Murston, 1871

Perhaps that last one should be my entry in the caption competition, Paul?

Awwww, MR - these are lovely!
Are any of the married names - that would be just TOO bizarre!

Paul

[Paul E]

YES!  I notice that Esther Egg appears in the 1881 (condition as to marriage is described as 'Windower' in the index!) Now there's one brave or foolhardy lady!

I've obviously got way too much time on my hands...I know they don't  follow the rules but they amused me. 

All from 1871

Christmas Gram age 10mths which means he would have been born abt June 1870 

His mother Given Gram Which leads me onto two more married women called

Given Owens and Given Proper

Christmas Gram
