Zotom?
« on: Monday 10 August 09 18:31 BST (UK) »
i don't believe this says Zotom... but i could b wrong as it's been transcribed as Zotom.

7th person down!
below John Benton and above Robert Benton.

Best i got was Geo Tom - but that seems odd as no one else is double named!!
many thanks in advance!

In the previous census he is George W(illia)m (RG12/3888) which seems to match this one.

Image looks like GeoWm which could be shortened version of George William.

Hi
Yes I agree with George as the Geo (See the Ger in Gertrude below)and O with a long finishing tail that crosses the upright line to give a impression of a T. (See his small T's as not same) W looks like ( The first up line in the W is cross with the tail finishing line of O)  + Uu'n+ to of small

Geo"""Uu'm""<  O tail line crossing W or 'Uu'

It would be 'Geo Tom' Two capitals if Tom
Dobby
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Yes, I agree that it is Geo. Not that I am disagreeing with previous census, but I cannot see how the second half relates to William, no matter how I look at it. I also so it as Tom.

If you look further down at Schedule 72 there is a Thomas Hack.  The T in this is completely different from the letter in question.  Given all the other responses I would accept  Geo Wm  if he was mine  :D
