My original idea was for examples of where the natural order of things is wildly out of balance. So I think your:

1901

Milk 97

Sugar 103


 ;D ;D ;D

This is fun...............

also needs to include the fact that there were only 49 Teas  ;)

In 1881 there were 67 Toes, but only 20 Fingers  (including one...no, can't say it's too rude :-[)
Stiff - Monmouthshire & Glos, Parry - Monmouthshire
Stafford - Glos, Liles - Glos, Bright- Glos, Webb - Monmouthshire & Glos, Smart - Glos, Smith - Glos
Sullivan - Ireland, Jones (oh dear! Almost as bad as Smith), Walker - Somerset, Llewellyn
And, no don't laugh...Crump...I think it's great!

And of course, if I ever do manage to do a successful look up it is crown copyright and all that legal stuff!
