Oh, Tariana ... those magical words '1910 Census' had me salivating, as you'll know that we're stuck back in 1901 here in the UK! :)

Sinez is a wonderful name for someone - gives you the impression he had problems with his nasal passages! :)

And Debbie ... your Dear Litta Baby is just lovely! :) :) :)

How about this then!

Searching for my husbands Sugden ancestors, I found a
Herbert Shite Sugden !!!

Of course this should have been Herbert White Sugden.

Fancy his parents calling him such a rude name.

Found this post and it did make me chuckle, I thought I was the only one that had spent months floundering round looking for disappearing realatives. My G G Grandma was born Paulina so I figured hey, easy name to find. 6 months later I was still looking, finally found her as Theyner  :-\ in 1871 and then Philner  :-\ in 1881. I also had an Alice down as Alen. Like its not hard enough when they get the names right !!!

If the census is to be believed I have some very dark and macabre influences in my tree :o .  My great grandmothers first marriage was to a Corps which unfortunately had an 'e' added and on my grandfathers side their Keel was at one time Kill.  These two lines eventually came together, with, strangely enough the Kill appearing before the Corpse (which I suppose it would!).  That is the only skeleton I have found in my family cupboard :)
