Censuswhack

Lubbly Jubbly!

On the IGI I found a birth of the daughter of John and Maria Cross on
15th June 1839 in Donington-In-Holland, Lincoln, England

Victoria Cross

Wonder if the next child was called George?

Anyway, theres over 200 George Cross in the 1881 census. And even a George Meddle.

I tried to find a D.F. Cross or D.S. Cross, or even a D.S. Medal, but to no avail.

Victoria Cross is certainly a genuine Censuswhack as she appears only once in the 1871 census, so well done D ap D!

There's also William EMPIRE in 1901.
Such a shame he never met, married and hyphenated himself to Agnes MEDAL, an American lady working in London in the same year

Hi,
I've spied a Watercress Joe, male aged 52 born England, living in Burslem nextdoor to a relation of mine - William Elsby. Also in residence nextdoor to William is Watecress' good friend - Lankey Bill.

Furthermore - I have a Lettithea Baserga in my tree

You don't know how lucky you are!

Maybe this should be a 'favourite mistranscription' but oh well I've started now...

In 1871 I'm sure I've found the only Mead Mary Liver

Looking at the image I'm wondering if this was because she brought freebies as she was a Butcher's Daughter

Looking, appropriately for a St. George: I found an:

Emanuel George born in Turkey, living in Glamorgan

and a
Pierre Francois St. Georges

and a Samuel Thomas (S.T.) George

and on the IGI

a marraige for Saint St. George - couldn't find him on the census though.

Hi,

Had to put this one in, the only one on the 1881 with this occupation.

Mary L. Du Sautry age 8 "writer of fairy tales"

Not bad work if you can get it!!!

And so young!  I hope her father wasn't appropriating the royalties!

Do you think she was making it up?
