I've just transcribed a Miss Barber with first name Fanny 

She married Mr Shadwell, I suppose it could have been worse..

hello barbara, yes i can see where you are going with that one
I came across lots including
blood, hole, bacon and boyle, those were the (sort of) more acceptable but some were and still are not suitable for public display lol )) how times have changed

I've just come across an ancestor of mine marrying a Thomas Levi Jeans in 1867. 6 years it seems before Levi Jeans were invented. Shame he didn't trademark his own name...

In the township of Purchase, New York you will find a Quaker congregation known as Purchase Friends Meeting.

I have at least one relative from the 1700's who is buried at their Purchase Friends Meeting Cemetery.  Unfortunately for genealogists, the Quakers so valued modesty that the majority of the grave markers provide only the initials and date of interment for the deceased.  Not much help for the genealogist!

Oh dear.
This is bad.
Just spotted someone with the first name Fanny. I won't tell you what the surname appears to be (and indeed has been transcribed as) but you can find her in A******y in the 1891 census, in District 15 of St Mary Magdalene, Sussex, no 205 on the schedule. You have been warned...
