How many of you have come across amusing entries in the census and other documents which quite frankly people would never believe you if you told them without the proof, and of course other amusing entries.

I found a gem of a name with occupation yesterday carrying out my transcription work, this was an entry in 1841 census for Sidelsham District 6, Sussex, Piece 1103, Book 3, Folio 5 page1 Row 18, A certain Mr Wheeler, who is a Dealer!

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!
