Check this family out!!

The entry is on Ancestry as well as the "original" image.  The handwriting looks decidedly modern and very different from that on the previous pages.  I think someone found a blank page at the end of this district and decided to liven up late a late night transcription session!

wouldn't it have  been done years ago though if it's transcribed on Family search too? And not done by Ancestry transcribers. It could  be done by someone who was filming the census pages in the archives. It may be quite a few years old. 10, 12 years etc?

I think the occupation could also  be International Hawker. I can't see how the occupation after "international" can be read. The first letter  of "playboy" could also be read as a H - it's almost impossible to read that word as it's so lightly written

 I think it is definitely a fake though. I'd love to know who did it, someone who is living, or someone who has gone to their grave laughing about this  like previously mentioned

 ... check Robert GOODMAN born 1829 in the 1881 census.

The old ones are the best

But he's married 

Surely that must hamper old Bob's lifestyle a bit

I wonder if the Enumerator knew what that was when he wrote it down!!!!

His wife appears to be 97 years old!!  He would need to be a playboy!!!

Well he's not there in 1871 or 1891 - must have been on his travels

Hehe!!

What about his son's profession - ponce!!! No wonder the word Lunatic was written down!!

[kerryb]

Do you think the birth places of all the servants are correct or made up?

Perhaps he collected his servants on his travels!!
