I have just come across this while looking through the census's.
Charles Go To Bed Ineman abt 1809. Cambridgeshire.
That takes some beating.

My eldest daughter called me immature earlier because I was giggling at a new ancestor on my tree....Fanny Dicker.
Oooops....I am giggling again. I had better find somebody who died a horrible death to sober me up...

There are strange names over here in Holland.
Napoleon took a census of Holland and every one had to register but the Dutch being very humouristic invented surnames which are still in existence today.
Naakt in het gras which means naked in the grass and Zeldenthius - never at home are good examples.
I have many other examples but i'll just leave you with a taste of more to come!!l
