Post by: Peety on Wednesday 21 November 18 07:23 GMT (UK)
Can anyone please help decipher some of the more obscure forenames from this 1841 census?
Many thanks

Having had a look at the original image on the census and browsed over a few pages, I would say this enumerator had a limited knowledge of name-spelling. A couple of unusual interpretations.

I think it maybe intended to be -
Joseph
Sarah,
Joseph
Georgina
Germain?
Johannah
Rosetta

Sue

Lots of the children's bapts are on family search it seems.
