My great aunt Zada has been transcribed

    1881 and 1891  Lada S.L. Knight   

she is not the only one transcribed as Lada, is this still a censuswhack?

     1891  Lada Flew 

My brother had one of those cars in the 1970's

I have
                Cicemacelia Millicent Selena
and not one census has the right spellings.
I have got so far ,Cecillia ,Cilla,C,Priscilla ,Sebina ,Caleb, Ciscomvellia,Ciscilla......................but at least the grave stones have the right spellings..........

Must have been a nightmare for them.......lol

Must admit I have trouble spelling it as well.......

Ooh, ooh!

I just realised I have one in my family, rather than someone elses.

My great-great grandmother, Priscilla Carendo Winchester as she was listed on her Marriage certificate, or Priscilla Direnda Winchester as she was listed on her birth certificate, was listed on the 1881 census as Preseler Willis.

Preseler is the Censuswhack, but neither Carendo or Direnda appear anywhere on the 1881 census. God alone knows what she would have been listed as if she'd given her full name!

Bonus points, perhaps???

Found on the 1881 census one of my Middleton family - a daughter age 4 - listed as MACLEAN Middleton.
Kind Rootschatters have found she was an AMELIA !

[GRACELAND]

AMELIA ! Seams to have been a common name once not no more !!

[Emmeline]

Hello Graceland - Yes, you are quite right about AMELIA having  lost favour. I do remember there was one in my class at school. I envied her blonde ringlets and the fact that she could play the piano !

Hello Paul,  I have just discovered your censuswhack during a browse.

My GG Grandfather born 1808 died 1887. The 1851 census shows his occupation as a Patent Horse Hair Glover. I have no idea what this entailed, do you think there are any others

Here's a couple from 1881 Brit:

Mother In Law A. BARNES   72  Everton, Lancashire, England

Aunt SW...SON  Female   61  London, Middlesex, England

Cousins AMBROSE   39   Railway Port    Castleton, Lancashire, England

Husband RUSSELL   15   Work At Home (Ag Lab)  Atterby, Lincoln, England


Popsy JUNIPER  18  London, Middlesex, England
 
She's the only Popsy in 1881, but I think her brother might have a whacked occupation too:
William JUNIPER  21 Assistant To His Uncle Cheese Monger
