I think a lot of people gave silly answers on the 1911 census as a protest against the increasing number of personal questions being asked.  Maybe your g g grandfather was one of them ?  :)

RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.

Similar to people giving Jedi as their religion on the last census!  That's really going to confuse family historians in the future.
