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...
