Only one person, living in West Bromwich, was Happy.

I'm sure I can't be the only one to look for the naughty ones!

There's two people with the occupation B*gg*r
And one who's a F*ck*r, a 17 year old female in Lambeth.
 :-[ ;D

The mind boggles!!

I really must find something better to do!

I see that three men aspired to be Duchesses. One of the men was called Doris  ;D

Dipping my own toes in the tide of hilarity on here, I put in "Runt".
Contrary to the perceived knowledge that the runt of the litter never survives in the family long were just two survivors, one aged 17, the other aged 42, one named Charles, the other Miss Florence (not, I hasten to add Miss Piggy)...

79 people seem to be "dead"  ???  Will partial words come up in the search?  If it does, what occupation could start with dead?

Only two Whores came up, surprisingly.  Even more surprisingly, one of them is a 35-year-old man.  :o

And three Madams - one of those is a bloke as well!
