Enumerator stumped by language

[Copper1]

Finding a northern branch of the Pirson surname in Monkgate, York, led me to notice the poor enumerator's obstacle with a neighbouring household he elicited were "Italian", their ages and at least one figurine maker, concluding little else "because the people don't speak english".

The full reference is RG11/4723, Folio 38, page 31: 1, Richmond Street, York

There is no apparent re-visit made by a superintendent or suchlike, so does anyone know what allowance was made for events like this any enumerator might encounter?

Well, he/she seemed to do quite well! I do hope whoever is related to them has other censuses to work from though.

I do have minor language barriers with a Welsh ancestor who moved to England (and whose birthplace isn't spelled the same way twice as a result) and one Scots ancestor who moved to England, where the only reference to his place of birth is "Dumfarling". We have taken to assume this is Dunfermline...
