Hit a Brickwall? Have you lost all trace of someone? Do not despair, simply make a note they were abducted by aliens! Don't believe in aliens? No problem, just write them off as having disapeared in a time portal

Re: Fact is stranger than fiction - Census Entries.
I did have, dont know where at the moment. Census entries I think from 1881 I dont know if they were playing or transcribers/enumerators playing?
I shall have to find them!
