I'm a bit bemused as I've just come across a name that I think might possibly be an error, but then again I'm not so sure.

I looked up a 1914 marriage on FREEBMD to find the lady in question had married someone called BACKLOG.  As his name was not on the page index, I thought maybe it was just some transcribers note but when I checked the index page on Ancestry there is someone listed as George A Backlog who apparently married the lady in question.

However, he doesn't ever seem to have been born and neither does Martha Backlog who also got married, BUT there are two Backlogs whose births AND marriages are listed (but no earlier listings as would be needed for them to have parents of that name!!!)

I have Hemswell, which doesn't sound that unusual but my GG Grandad was the only one on the 1901 census!  It was usually mistranscribed/misheard as Hemsley.

Mohun/Mohan, Taylerson and Foggin

Ooops, just realised I was only looking at Staffordshire.

There seem to be quite a few Backlogs, just not many at all in Staffs.  It seems George A may have come from Atcham!
