Sorry, but I've lost the reference again ... can someone tell me please the name of the 'international playboy' in the 1881 Census ... the online version. (For those reading who haven't got a clue what I'm on about, this was a spurious entry made probably by a transcriber - and has been a real laugh.) Thanks for anyone who can help - I won't lose it again. Regs Jane |

Whatever his occupation, it obviously paid well. All those servants and none of them local! |

I hadn't known about that one before! Evidence of his international activity is the range of birthplaces for his staff! Christine |

It could be that someone objected to having to fill in the census form so answered appropiately. MB |

Rosemary, Thank you, thank you, thank you ..... yes, that's the one! Apparently this was a modern 'addition' to the census, as one of the residents was allegedly born in Pakistan ... which only came into existence in more modern times - 1960s? Thanks once again. Regs Jane |
