John William Beasley Bould or Boull

[Dundee]

I thought that their family had finished with Lilian Rose in 1887

Edith is at home in 1901 and 1911.  The 1911 also shows number of children born, the two deceased are Rhoda Ann, born and died 1870, and Albert George, born 1884 died 1886.

I didn't have Albert George - another Boull for my collection, thank you

Another day another surname! I just found this while playing around with combinations of names. So it was Bale ...

Goodness me you’ll have to change your topic heading to Bould or Boull or Bale or etc etc etc

I know and there will probably be more!

My grandfather was Edward William Bazley.  The family was very large and straddled the boundaries of Dorset, Somerset and Devon for 400 years, further complicated by county boundary changes and various spellings!

Hi Wallis 1790, it must be very difficult to follow a family with so many variations of spelling

Yes, it is.  My own married name is Honeybun.  Even when I spell it to people they get it wrong.  Then there’s Columbine and lots of variations of that too.  In many cases the quality of the census writing is terrible too.
