Must get on and do some work

Glen

There can be no finer work, Glen, than adding to the Censuswhack Stack!  Well done on mining such a seam of watery censuswhacks (oh I do love to mix a metaphor :)), and especially for opening up the Star Trek theme, to which must be added:

Scotty, in 1861 inTintwistle in Cheshire and Trek Davies, in Christchurch, Surrey - also in 1861.

Well done!

cheers

Paul

All of these are 1881, since this is all I have access to at the moment.

Slightly out of Censuswhack territory I know, but firmly in the Star Trek zone, there is only one James T Kirk, living in Yorkshire. Hundreds of Tribbles though!

On a related note, there is only one person with the first name of Deforest (Deforest James Rule in Cornwall)


Other Censuswhacks unrelated to all things Trekkie

The mind boggles, but in Bridgnorth (RG11/2630, 76, 13) poor Sarah J Edwards is the only person in the country with the unenviable occupation of Factory Sex. Thos F Allen of London is the country's last remaining Tinplate Worrier

There is the one and only John Menace in Lancashire, or Wincup Calleiege the Rat Poisoner in Suffolk, Harry Spangle in Middlesex, Poyce Edwards in Greenwich, Manuel Ponce in St Pancras. Its probably already been found, but there is Murder McKenzie in Bolton.

What do I get for two Censuswhacks in the same household? In Corfe Mullen (RG11/2093, 115, 10), Henry Pond named one of his sprogs Idea and another Edorea, both of which appear nowhere else that year

Thats all for now.

More later possibly

What about my Louisa de la Sausage - Enfield 1871 census -  bet there are not too many of those around. Someone has suggested it could have been Sauvage.

A relation in England had trouble finding Zachariah Tricker born Groton in the 1851 census.
He had been transcribed as BRACKNARD TRIACK born in GANTON  with his wife Susan Triack.  No wonder she had trouble !

Hi Emmeline

Yes, indeed - the Triaks are a Censuswhack (since Pro Rules dictate that it is the census index that is the definitive indicator).

My Great Grandmother was Everalda Billins - God knows where that came from - she's the only one in whole of England in 1881, not surprisingly.

The enumerators had a hell of a job and she was known throughout the censii (?) and on marriage cert as Evelyn, Everlylda or Hilda and even the family gave up when it came to the gravestone ....'Hilda "Evie" Lewis' !!

Thanks Paul E - just glad they were not listed as TRIADS!
