On the 1881 census:

Thomas Hill of Clerkenwell is the only Gothic Engineer

Joseph Simpkins of Lambert is the only Gothic Iron Fitter

William Webber of Bodmin is the only Gothic Wood Carver

There are also 2 Gothic Joiners and 2 Gothc Smiths - all involved in building Manchester Town Hall and St Pancras Station, perhaps?  ;D

"Silly Staryroom" sounds like a name you'd tell the midwife as your were coming down off pethedrine!

Love it Jo! :)

More fruit and veg:

1881 Census:

Celery Wood, 3, Skidmore Road, Mile End, Middx
Hann Apple (and her hungry brother, Woolf Apple), Tenter St., London

I'm not "taking the pith" with this lot:

Orange Clements (married name), 55, Farnham, Surrey

Orange Lemmon, (male, this time), 26, Icklesham, Sussex (he was a grocer and draper - I was disappointed that he wasn't a greengrocer)

How about this poor chap:

Orange Blossom, 30, Labourer, boarding in Abbey St., Worksop

Orange Lemon this time, 10, staying with his aunt and uncle in Royal St., Lambeth

Lemon Lemon, born in the Netherlands 55 years earlier, in Spital st., London

Green-fingered perhaps: Lemon Gardner, 57, in East Chiltington Workhouse, Sussex

Spud S Fox, 6, Minterne Magna, Dorset

Patehnine (must be a first) Onions, 2, Pauls Terrace, Mile End

Florence Fennel (only one with that spelling), 10, Derby St., Oldham.

I think I've squeezed this one until the pips squeaked...

Hi Deborah

Did you check to see if she grew up to be a larger Slurd?  Something makes me hope she did! :)

cheers
