Even stranger than usual...

Old Book Thomspilie - Hulme, 1871

Nosy Allen - Oxford, 1891

Big Bill - St Martin, 1901

Queer Selina Victoria Hart - Dorset, 1871

Loonie Cooper - Besthorpe, 1901

Unfortunately there are 2 with this name, so these don't count, but too good to miss are

Peculiar Stringer - Bilston, 1881

Flattery will get you everywhere, Paul!

I think it's more a case of "Garbage In, Garbage Out".....

Not sure if the cops ever caught up with

the KEYSTONE family in Wellingborough in 1891
Maggie FELON in Bootle in 1881
William George CONVICT in Salford, 1891
Charles T CRIME in Islington in 1891
the JAIL family in Brighton in 1871
Elizabeth PRISON in Margate in 1891
the LAG family in Mile End in 1901
or (my favourite) :)
Henry CULPRIT in Norfolk in 1891

but if they did, they should have been concentrating on the OUTLAWS and the LAWLESS - far too many of them at large across all of the censuses.  Were they so difficult to track down?

I think some of them eventually got caught.

1871 Census:

Maryann Jail, Brighton
Jane Prison, Hutton St George, Somerset
Fanny Clink, Richmond
Caroline Bighouse, Macclesfield
Betsey Stir, Coppenhall Monks, Cheshire

None of them are unique surnames so no points (if you're still counting!).  There's also a Norman Fletcher but I don't know if his middle name was Stanley ::)
