Can you read this?
« on: Sunday 23 January 05 07:39 UTC (UK) »
The image is in the disability column of the 1871 census.  I'm not sure whether it refers to one person (Lydia, who I know was blind, but I can't read the rest of the word) or to her brother as well on the next line.  Any ideas?

KathyM - I doubt whether Blond from Birth should really be regarded as a Disability even under the couple of mental health choices the enumerators had available Roll Eyes
