Just found this one

HMS Thrush 1901 census

Two Pound Ten, born Sierra Leone

and its not a transcription error

Chris

[Chris1969]

or

"a man with a big nose", tramp, born Stockport

in 1871 census for Dent

Chris

[Manchester Rambler]

"a man with a big nose", tramp, born Stockport

Chris, you just made my day!

How could the enumerator know the tramp was born in Stockport if he couldn't - or wouldn't - give his name???  Mr Bad Attitude!

Hi,

Frances Vict. Haigh is listed in the 1881 as the only person who Keeps Candy & Pot Shop (Confectioner).

Then there is Eliza Beal living in London who is the only Candy Drop Maker in 1881.  She must have the monopoly on candy.

George Eastwood of Lancashire is the only Creative Artist on the 1881, and he is listed as Emplg 10 Men.

Herbert G. Bass of Buckinghamshire grew up quickly, he is listed on the 1881 As Grandad Errand Boy, he is only 13 years old.

Grace A. Churchill living in Warwickshire on the 1881 is the only person whose occupation is listed as Feeding The Hungry Clothing The Naked.

Margaret Mcallister in Liverpool on the 1881 is the only Nest Maker.  I guess the birds in other parts of the country had to make their own.

That's it for now,

Sue

Good morning all. This is my first ever visit to this website and I'm really impressed! Why haven't I discovered you before?
Please can I join in this game? Whilst researching my partner's family, I came across a Lady called Yuletide Haynes, birth reg. March 1899, Potterspury. Does anyone else know of any other Yuletides?
I should also explain that I am new to computers so I still haven't worked out how to do all the artwork that you all have below your names etc.

Welcome to Rootschat, shumagh!  Hope you enjoy it and find it as helpful as I and others undoubtedly have.

And welcome to Censuswhack - of course you can join in!

I can't find ANY Yuletides in the censuses - was she still alive in 1901, or maybe she's hiding under a middle name?  I imagine she was born around Christmas, though!
