Although not one of my own ancestors, but a neighbour to one of mine on the 1881 census. To be honest with you, I am hoping it is some sort of error - or is it Horror :-\

Kenemhappuck Walters age 10 living in the Welsh Valleys ???

I thought perhaps it was intended to be something else - but what?

Any ideas.

Just found Tassell Stevens born c1855.
 
Found him first in 1871 as Sassell so thought it was a mistranscription for Cecil but no, there he is in 1881, 91 and 01 clearly down as Tassell  ???  His brothers and sisters were James, John, Ann and Sarah so where on earth did they pick that name from?

Wonder if he ever bumped into the other Tassell in 1871 - Tassell Culver, from Faversham? :)

The 1881 census index has Nutty Nelly Slack but the image shows just Nelly! Was this a transcriber with a sense of humour?
In my own tree I have a Trulove Dunk (a man !).
Slack - Sheffield/Dbys/Lincs/Notts
Buxton/Oates/Mawhood/Simmonite/Rawson/Coombs/Dunk/Wilson/Bramham/Briggs/Cowley/Kay/Leesley/Sarson/White - all mainly Sheffield area
