Does this say what I think it says?
« on: Monday 24 April 06 08:21 BST (UK) »
Don't know how to scan the actual census image onto here, so I'll just give you the details and you can have a look yourself:

HO107/1609 Folio 574 Page 5

1851 Census, St Mary, Fenn, Kent

11 Fenn Street - halfway down the page

Head of household's name - surname is Day

Census transcriber has it as this too. Do you think Mr Day may have been having the enumerator on, or would it be legit? If so, I have GOTTA chase this guy's family to see what other gems the parents thought up.

Oh my.  I've got Days in my family, concidentally also from Kent (Lenham, in my instance).  I'm really going to have to see if Mr. Time of Day is related. ;D :P
