Bizzare Census Facts
« on: Friday 09 September 05 19:38 BST (UK) »
In the 1901 Census there are 10,517 Crooks but only 3 people called Honest.

In the 1871 Census there are 15 Cats but only 4 Dogs.

Any more for any more?

You've got the idea Willow!  Smiley

In 1861 there were more Hammers (208) that Nails (161) in England

In 1901 there were 148 Batmans but 246 Robins  Huh
