And for emily's table, in 1891 poor old (young) Alfred Vinegar, 3mths, living in Hanley Castle
Shame about the Frogs, Hack. Thomas and John in 1871 obviously never went a courtin'

Not a census - so probably not eligable for a point - but did you know ANNE ELEPHANT was buried in Bolden in Co Durham on 1 Sept 1727, according to the NBI on familysearch.net.
Must be a large grave.

Probably the courtship failures of the frogs explains the lack od Tadpoles in 1881... 
although there are 29 in the IGI....mostly from the 1600's
I've found some Frog marriages on freebmd though--no Thomas or John though..
Marriages Dec 1837
FROG William Southwell 15 1051
Marriages Sep 1848
Frog Hannah Thanet 5 459
Marriages Mar 1886
FROG William Shardlow 7b 510
Marriages Mar 1903
Frog Joseph Eli Nottingham 7b 412
I wonder where William had got to in 1891?

In the 1881 census there is a woman called QUEEN with the unique forename of THE. I believe she may also be the only person with the occupation of - Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. If you look at the images they appear to have been chewed by the royal corgis.

Exhumation is my game

Paul,
Not quite! She is Merwin in the 1841, 1861 & 1871, but Mirven in the 1851. In 1891 she becomes just M. Hartshorne and of course in the 1881 she is Alervin. Then on the IGI she is Murwin and on her death certificate she is Merven.
Her age varies as much as her name. In 1841 she was 20, in 1851 she was 33, in 1861 she was 48, in 1871 she was 53, in 1881 she is 66, in 1891 she is 74 and when she died in 1901 she was 81.
Does this earn any points?
Jill

Glad you're back broakham...and Paul I hope all that business about the "fat lady singing" wasn't a comment on the waistlines of Rootschatters of the feminine kind 
How about -
Yellow Wheel, 24, born Aprica (I think that might be Africa), occupation Krooman (just possibly crewman) on a Royal Navy Vessel - 1871
Magenta Stratta, 3, visitor in Shirley, Hampshire - 1901
Ermintrude Bellairs, abt 1878, Holdenhurst - 1881
Snowdrop A Hinton, 4, St Pancras - 1871
Lilian Paddington Satchwell, 11, Nuneaton - 1891
(maybe the Beckhams didn't start the trend ?? )
Mildew Michaels, 27, Kensington - 1901
Pickle Greenwood, abt 1853, Todmorden & Walsden - 1881
That's it for the moment!

Well, Pom, your farmyard gets you 1 point for the Roosters, as there were only 3 of them in 1901 (unless they'd all flown to DURHAM - not transcribed by Anne Cesstree yet  ), and a further point for the single Sheep in 1901.
Tabitha chalks up a further 7 points
- but risks losing them if she doesn't stop making potentially libellous statements about my misogyny / fattism!
broakham stays in the frame with a couple of points for his regal links.
When should this thread be closed? We'll have to announce a winner someday?

1891 shows us 39 people named Horatio Lord Nelson. One of them was a 47 year old servant from Reedham - yr.humble servant, no doubt.
There were only 2 Abraham Lincolns around - perhaps many John Wilkes Booths? However Clerkenwell was hiding General George Washington, a more popular General than Atilla Thunderberry of Nottingham.
I claim a point for Mr. Thunderberry - a spectacular name.
