Well, broakham, a well-earned point for Obadiah but AS YOU WELL KNOW  there are over a hundred knocker uppers in 1881 - though George may well indeed be the only one married to a midwife!

keep the coming!

Now that looks like a GAUNTLET if ever I saw one!

6 points and I can;t work out which is my favoutirte Tabitha -Tiger Clarke wins it for me though, because of a possible family connection!

Well done!

One more and that's it!!!

1891 - Harrison Ford, 30, a servant in West Heslerton, Yorkshire.

I knew he was getting on abit........

I'm going to do some "proper" research now....if I can remember how!

Tabitha
      After being battered round the ring I think Harrison Ford is a knock- out blow.

Another victory to the fairer sex

I have this diabolical trio:
Seedes Satan, a fireman [!] on the SS city of Baltimore in dock at Birkenhead.
Walter Devil, a 13 year old servant of Whiston Staffs and
Jane Imp, 25 year old servant of North Mundham, Sussex.

oh broakham.....please don't be defeated! 

Hack, I did find a God Someoneorother that wouldv'e gone well with your selection.....unfortunately I had to admit to myself it looked like an abbreviation!

That's strange.   I have her as Maria Hartshorn age 20 in the 1841, Mirven Hartshorn age 33 in the 1851, in 1861 she is Merwin Hartshorne/Nail Maker age 48 (which is confusing in itself) and in 1871 she is Merwin M., age 53.   The same address, St. James Terrace, Dudley for all censuses.   I haven't seen the images.   

On the IGI Christening records for her children she becomes Murwin Maria and I have this week found her death, in Sheffield in January 1901 and I sent for the certificate yesterday.

I haven't yet found her on the 1881 or 1891 so maybe she is one of those you have found?

Ok I found her in 1881 living at 23 St James, Terrace Dudley

Name has been transcribed at Alervin Hartshorn and a "male"
as well.

Paul do I get at least point she/he is the only Alervin in anywhere.

Gennig - you not only receive a well-earned point, you may probably find that JillJ wants to express her eternal gratitude - what a find! (Even beats my Conrad / Leonard mistranscription found earlier this week!).

Hack - I think a bonus point for the elegant symmetry we have come to expect of you, plus three makes four!

Broakham - it ain't over until the fat lady sings!
