I fould a relative named Zebra the other day and thought it was a strange name for a little boy but luckily remembered seeing an unusual but similar name in another earlier census for the father's family- Sebra not Zebra! Thought the child would be easy to spot in other records but he seems to have also been called William.

Not exactly a mis-transcription... but definately my favourite find ever!
I won't spoil it by explaining, I'll let you all take a look at the thread.

Enjoy!!
