In 1880 Cortland, New York there was a 48 year-old Calophernia Dunce. Her husband was 71!

In 1880 Hancock, Tenesee, there was 10 year-old Twice Nichols (there were three people in the 1880 Census called Once) and in 1881 New Haven, Connecticut, there was a Thrice Snow.  Do you think the mother of the latter said to her husband, "Once, twice and thrice, NO!" - but he did anyway?

There were a couple of people in 1880 with the forename Fourth, so this doesn't qualify, but one of them had the surname Phorpanne, which does!  The other had the rather delightful name of Fourth Starr.

I could go on and on in this number vein, but I won't.  Another name that appealed, though, was Sixth Gangway of 1880 Paddock and Steel Creek, Nebraska.

I'll finish this post with a great name (although it doesn't qualify yet again).  In 1880 Greene, North Carolina was Bee Ruff.

Hi,

I'm brand new to the site and thought I'd share some of the names I have come across during my searches, appologies if any of these have come up before!

1891 - Enoch Nock (whose there?) of Tipton - He's one of mine!
1861 - Mahershalalhastbez Treharne from Langnwyd, Glamorgan
1861 -  Whilst looking for my True Newton, I cam across several others, obviously not the only 'True' but they managed to raise a smile:
True Butter - Birmingham
True Coller - Dudley
TrueGuy - Staffs
Mary Ann True love - Lancs
True Kime - North Forty Foot Bank (!) Lincs
True Spor - Bucks
True Tuffs _ Norfolk
True Rust- Beds
1871- Honest Bardoni - Kent
1881 - George Clown Perry - Wolverley

Gwyneth and Chris weren't the first to name their child after an item of food...
1871 - Onion Sont(?) - London
1881 - Pickle Greenwood - Lancs
1891 - Pea Wood - Leeds
1891 - Sauce Atkins - Staffs
1891- Beans Buttler - London
and to go with all that?
1871 - Louisa F de la Sausage - Middlesex.

I'm quite hungry now, off for a (Earl of) Sandwich!

Welcome to Rootschat, and welcome to Censuswhacking, Rotti!  Quite an entry, too - well done!

I have now listed some of the Censuswhacks on my family history website - www.etherington.rootschat.net - a big thank you to all who have submitted Censuswhacks, now recorded for posterity!  I'll try and prepare an up to date summary list soon!

cheers

Paul

Not quite a Cencuswhack - I know but they tickled my fancy anyway.

These are women's christian names I found whilst graveyarding - needless to say I had to double check as I though I was going a bit mad!

The names are: Nicholas, Bruce and Mitchell and they're all in parts of Stirlingshire - maybe they tried to start a craze??
